On January 29, 2022, 19-year-old Kanajai Burton was shot near the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and North Ogden Street in Denver. He was taken to Denver Health but died of his wounds; another victim, 23-year-old Elijah Kelly, was pronounced dead at the scene. Kanajai, a Black/African American man born on December 24, 2002, was a recent Rangeview High School graduate and a football player who had recently become a father to a son, Sekani Ky Burton. Family described him as charismatic, playful, and a devoted father who was never in trouble. An 18-year-old, A'darion Sanford, was arrested on February 8, 2022, and initially charged in the double homicide.

Kanajai’s family calls his death a senseless act of gun violence and says he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Does anyone have information about Kanajai, where he spent time, or the night of January 29, 2022?
