Javier Cano Castillo, 36, was found shot to death in his pickup truck on the evening of Friday, October 7, 2022, at a Conoco gas station near South Wadsworth Boulevard and Hampden Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado. Police said the shooter briefly got into a gray Audi at the pumps and drove away after roughly half a minute, leaving Castillo mortally wounded in the vehicle. The station’s reported address was 3440 S. Wadsworth Blvd., just north of Highway 285.

Within two weeks detectives identified 35-year-old Oscar Gutierrez as a suspect. On October 19, 2022, Lakewood detectives and Denver’s Metro SWAT team moved to serve a warrant at an apartment on the 16300 block of East 49th Avenue in Denver; after hours of attempted negotiations officers entered and found Gutierrez dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Castillo was identified as a Denver resident; Spanish-language coverage noted his Hispanic heritage and community memorial pages and grave records preserve his name and date of death. Did anyone see the gray Audi at the Conoco that night or have information about movements near South Wadsworth and Hampden on October 7, 2022?
