James Boles, a 29-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was found dead in Denver on October 9, 2014; that date is listed both as the day he was discovered and as the official date of death. Official records categorize his case simply as a death by force, but the exact method, location within the city, and the circumstances of the confrontation are not publicly detailed.

A 2018 review of Denver homicides included his unsolved case among many others lacking an arrest, and later news about a 2021 indictment naming a Timothy James Boles for unrelated organized crime charges has not been linked to the 2014 homicide.

The investigation is publicly unresolved and no suspects have been named; if anyone knew James or has information about his death, please share what can help the inquiry.
