On the afternoon of Thursday, August 29, 2024, 35-year-old Fernando Alvarez-Chacon was killed after a road rage confrontation in Denver, Colorado. According to accounts, Alvarez-Chacon was driving a Ford F-250 as he tried to exit Interstate 25 onto Santa Fe Drive when his path was blocked by a box truck. A verbal dispute turned physical; Alvarez-Chacon reportedly exited his truck and struck the box truck driver, then got back into his vehicle and drove away north on South Santa Fe Drive.

A white Chevy Malibu with temporary tags then pulled up alongside Alvarez-Chacon’s truck and a shot was fired, wounding him. He continued driving and turned onto West Byers Place before losing consciousness, according to the passenger. The Malibu allegedly pulled in front of the truck on South Kalamath Street and three more shots were fired. Alvarez-Chacon’s truck stopped in a grassy area overlooking the interstate; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Denver police arrested 21-year-old Chyon Kendrick on September 4, 2024, in connection with the homicide; he faces a possible first-degree murder charge and is being held without bond. Does anyone have information about the sequence of vehicles or witnesses who saw the shooting?
