Robert Damontay Sillemon, 31, was shot and killed in Denver on the night of July 4, 2022. The shooting took place in the 2100 block of West Pacific Place and also wounded three other people, turning the holiday into a tragedy for the neighborhood. Sillemon is remembered as a father, son, and brother with a warm smile and a fun-loving spirit.

The Denver Police appealed to the public for information after the shooting. A year later, in July 2023, authorities announced arrests in the case: Cesar Ramirez-Rivera, 21 at the time, and Nelson Miranda-Rivas, 26, were taken into custody and held for investigation of first-degree murder. The Denver District Attorney’s office will determine final charges.

If anyone knew Robert or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing inquiry.
