Jason Perry, 46, was shot and killed on the night of August 8, 2023, after working at a nightclub near South Federal Boulevard and Cedar Avenue in Denver. Perry, originally from San Diego, worked as a DJ and sometimes as a security guard. After he escorted an unruly patron from the club, that patron returned minutes later and opened fire in the parking lot, fatally wounding Perry.

Denver police investigators identified the suspect quickly with the help of the club’s protocol of photographing every patron and their driver’s license on entry. The suspect was identified as Christopher Roel Hernandez but remained at large for more than a year and a half, leaving the case cold and Perry’s family grieving.

On February 7, 2025, Hernandez was arrested by the San Diego Sheriff’s Office and faces a charge of first-degree murder; extradition to Colorado is pending. Did anyone who knew Jason or who was at the club that night see details that could help clarify what happened?
