On the evening of March 9, 2012, 55-year-old Leroy Wright was found on the 2100 block of Franklin Street in Denver suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders took him to Denver Health Medical Center at about 8:20 p.m.; he died the following day from those injuries. The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but in the immediate aftermath provided few details about suspects or circumstances that led to the shooting.

The case later went cold, with no public information available about arrests or identified suspects. The motive and the identity of whoever shot Wright remain unresolved, and the investigation is still listed as open.
