Rodney Foster Denney Jr. was 21 when he was shot and killed during a house party in west Phoenix in the early morning hours of November 29, 2015. Denney, acting as security for the gathering as it was winding down, intervened in a dispute after a group of about five uninvited Hispanic males and females tried to force their way in. A physical altercation between the females escalated, and while Denney stepped in to de-escalate, someone from the uninvited group shot him.

Phoenix police found Denney in the driveway just before 3 a.m. with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Many partygoers had already left by the time officers arrived; those who remained were interviewed but could not identify the shooter. Authorities publicly appealed for information about the group and offered a reward of up to $2,000 for tips leading to an arrest. The case remains unsolved.

Did anyone at that party or who knew attendees ever come forward with information about the uninvited group involved?
