Wesley Rosander, a 54-year-old attorney and father of two, was killed while trying to stop the theft of his pickup in Denver. Rosander, who had recently moved to Denver in October, had installed a tracking device after a prior vehicle theft. Early on a Sunday morning he received an alert that his truck was being stolen and followed the thieves in a hotel shuttle van while waiting for police. The pursuit ended near East 40th Avenue and Chambers Road, where Rosander was shot and the shuttle van then crashed. Emergency crews transported him to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

Police found Rosander’s stolen truck in the Montbello neighborhood, but no suspects have been identified publicly and no arrests have been made. The case remains an open and unsolved homicide. If anyone saw activity near East 40th Avenue and Chambers Road that morning or has information about the theft and shooting, please come forward.
