Kyle Van Loozenoord, 32, was riding his motorcycle eastbound on Interstate 70 in Denver in the early hours of July 4, 2023, when a tan Ford F-150 passed him and a gunman leaned out of the passenger window and fired at least 20 shots. Van Loozenoord was struck and killed; investigators recovered 20 spent shell casings and obtained video footage from a witness vehicle that captured the sound of the gunfire.

Denver police identified and arrested two men, 21-year-old Cesar Ramirez-Rivera and 25-year-old Nelson Miranda-Rivas, who were held for investigation of first-degree murder. Authorities said motive was not immediately clear and the circumstances leading to the violent chase remained under investigation.

Van Loozenoord had founded a construction company, Born to Build LLC, in 2015. Family and friends remembered him as generous, loyal, and funny, with hobbies that included working on cars, scuba diving, hiking, and camping; they asked that donations be made to local animal rescue shelters in his memory.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the truck or its occupants, please come forward.
