On the evening of March 16, 2024, two people were found dead inside a room at a converted DoubleTree hotel being used as a homeless shelter at 4040 North Quebec Street in Denver. At about 9:20 p.m., 38-year-old Dustin Nunn, a white male, and 43-year-old Sandra Cervantes, a Hispanic female, were discovered deceased in a residential room of the shelter.

The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner ruled both deaths homicides: Nunn died of multiple gunshot wounds, and Cervantes died of a single gunshot wound. The Denver Police Department opened an active investigation; no suspects or motive have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. In response, shelter management increased security, adding guards, more surveillance cameras, and a badge system for staff and residents.

If anyone has information about what happened that night, please contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. Who might have seen or heard something at the shelter on March 16?
