Omar Enriquez-Magdaleno, 19, was fatally shot in the early hours of February 4, 2024, during a house party in Denver’s Green Valley Ranch neighborhood. Police were called just after 1:20 a.m. to the 5000 block of North Orleans Court after a confrontation erupted when a group of uninvited guests arrived; gunfire broke out inside the residence. Evidence at the scene indicated multiple shooters and multiple firearms. Four additional people were wounded, and a 17-year-old, later identified as Giovanni Heredia, also died from his injuries.

Medical authorities were notified of Enriquez-Magdaleno’s death at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora at about 3:20 a.m. Detectives said early on the attack did not appear random and that some witnesses may have left before officers arrived. Investigators described the gathering as a birthday party that escalated rapidly; reporting throughout 2024 described the case as active and noted Metro Denver Crime Stoppers increased a reward to encourage tips. No arrests have been announced in connection with Enriquez-Magdaleno’s killing.

If anyone was at the party or has information about who entered that home that night, please contact Crime Stoppers with what can help investigators.
