Nolan Shamarye Ware was 22 when he was shot and killed in daylight on April 25, 2015, near the Denver Gospel Hall as he gathered with family and friends for the funeral of his great-uncle, Abdul Rahim Muhammad, who had been murdered about two weeks earlier. The Denver coroner’s office confirmed Nolan died from a gunshot wound.

The shooting prompted citywide grief and prompted family and community leaders to organize peace rallies. His aunt spoke publicly about the family’s pain and fear, and the Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation that treated the killing as likely gang-related and offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Public reports available in the years after the shooting do not show any arrest or publicly identified suspect.

If anyone knew Nolan, Abdul Rahim Muhammad, or overheard or saw anything near the Denver Gospel Hall that morning, please come forward with information.
