Elias Junior Garcia Tinajero, 16, was found dead on the grounds of Fairmount Cemetery in Denver on February 24, 2024. Investigators determined he had been shot multiple times and his death was ruled a homicide. Family members remembered Elias as a boy with his whole life ahead of him, and a cousin set up a GoFundMe to help with expenses.

The Denver Police Department later arrested a juvenile male on suspicion of first-degree murder; authorities have not released the suspect’s age or any details about a motive. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone was in or around Fairmount Cemetery that afternoon or has information about Elias or the events leading to his death, please come forward to assist the inquiry.
