On the night of August 19, 2023, Lumumba Sayers Jr., 23, was one of two people killed in a mass shooting at 28th and Welton streets in Denver. The quadruple-victim incident also killed 25-year-old Gulian Musiwa and wounded others. Sayers Jr. had been a visible community figure, following his father’s example as an anti-violence activist and participant in the Gloves Up Guns Down movement, which worked to steer youth toward boxing and away from street violence.

Denver police identified a suspect and, about a month after the shooting, arrested 24-year-old Tyrell Braxton on suspicion of first-degree murder and first-degree assault in the deaths of Sayers Jr. and Musiwa. Those murder charges were later dismissed, and the deaths remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Lumumba Sayers Jr., was at 28th and Welton on August 19, 2023, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
