Eugene Lucero, a 50-year-old Metro Taxi driver, was found dead in the parking lot of White Ranch Open Space Park west of Golden, Colorado at 6:50 a.m. on February 22, 1995. Lucero had begun his shift that night and investigators determined he picked up a passenger between about 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. at the Sapp Brothers Truck Stop on I-70 and Quebec Street in Denver. The taxi was missing from the park scene and was later found abandoned in Denver at 54th and Harrison the same day.

The passenger who called the cab identified himself as Jim Davis. He is described as a white adult male, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 0 inches tall, 170 to 200 pounds, with dark brown hair and sideburns. He was wearing a camouflage coat, jeans and boots, possibly a vest, and carrying a brightly colored nylon bag with a dark strap. No arrests have been announced and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as an unsolved homicide.

Does anyone have information about the man who entered Lucero’s taxi that morning or recall seeing the taxi near 54th and Harrison on February 22, 1995?
