Ernesto Villalobos-Razo, a 41-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed the evening of January 11, 2017, in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood. The shooting happened about 6:30 p.m. in the 13800 block of Albrook Drive as Villalobos-Razo had just returned from work and was retrieving tools from his vehicle — a routine he followed because of concerns about theft. He was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead; the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner identified him as the victim.

Described as a hardworking and loving father, his family and community were left reeling. The motive has not been released. The Denver Police Department continues to investigate; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information that could help solve this killing is asked to come forward.
