Michael David Lohmeier, 73, was shot and killed while sitting in his car in a parking lot near Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, Colorado, on November 4, 2023. Lohmeier had been retired from Denver Public Schools but was still working part-time; family remembered him as a kind, caring man, a loving father to two adopted sons from South Korea, a brother to five siblings, an all-around athlete and a talented musician and photographer. He had just returned from a walk along a nearby bike path before the shooting.

Investigators linked the seemingly random slaying to 23-year-old James Matthew Neal, who was on parole for a prior violent felony. Security footage showed a stolen Ford F-150 fleeing the scene; that truck was later connected to Neal. A woman who borrowed the truck reported that Neal had confessed to killing someone, and Neal’s mother had alerted his parole officer with safety concerns days after the murder. A multi-state manhunt ended with Neal’s arrest in Wyoming after a high-speed chase; authorities recovered multiple stolen firearms and drugs and tied him to a string of car thefts through GPS tracking of a stolen iPad.

The family accepted a plea deal to avoid a trial. Does anyone have information about Lohmeier’s activities near the mall that day or observed the vehicle seen on security footage?
