Jayden Hoyle was a 13-year-old eighth-grader at Denver Green School described as happy, energetic and generous. The Black boy, the youngest of four children, helped neighbors and family and was preparing for his church Confirmation.

On the evening of April 8, 2022, Jayden was a passenger in a sedan with his best friend, 14-year-old Adrion Foster, in Denver. As they drove south on North Peoria Street around 6 p.m., a second sedan pulled alongside and shots were fired into the vehicle carrying the two boys. The driver lost control, and their car veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a pickup. Jayden and Adrion were pronounced dead at the scene; the medical examiner concluded both died from gunshot wounds. The pickup’s driver, 37-year-old Uriel Reyes Medina, later died from multiple blunt force injuries sustained in the crash. The shooter’s car fled.

Did anyone who knew Jayden or where he spent time have information about that evening or the dark-colored sedan seen on North Peoria Street?
