Jonathan Blazon, 23, was shot and killed in Denver on December 26, 2022. Police received a report of a shooting near Berkeley Lake Park at West 46th Avenue and Tennyson Street and were later alerted to a shooting victim found near Andrews Drive and Dillon Street. Blazon was located unconscious and bleeding from the head and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Investigators say a witness who had been in the car with Blazon and the alleged shooter provided key details. The witness told police that he and Blazon picked up a man named Piria, drove to the park, and then saw Piria shoot Blazon multiple times; the witness said Blazon did not appear to be doing anything threatening beforehand. A 22-year-old identified as Piria later turned himself in and was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and held at the Downtown Detention Center.
