A December 10, 2023 party in a Denver suburb ended in a fatal shooting at a home in the 2700 block of Ingalls Avenue in Edgewater. Host 29-year-old Miguel Angel Barboza was shot in the head after 31-year-old Kyle Valdez produced a pistol during the gathering. Barboza died at the scene.

Other attendees tried to wrestle Valdez to disarm him; during the struggle the firearm discharged again, wounding two people — one shot in the hand and another in the leg. Valdez was arrested and later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Barboza’s death and to two counts of second-degree assault for the injured partygoers, receiving a 43-year sentence for murder and an additional 16 years for the assaults.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about what led up to the shooting, please share what is known.
