Diana Marie Rease Malone, 22, was found dead on a sidewalk in Aurora, Colorado, on the afternoon of November 1, 2021. First responders discovered her on the 1400 block of North Kenton Street suffering from apparent trauma; she was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office determined she had been fatally shot in a nearby parking lot and ruled the death a homicide.

Witnesses at the scene provided descriptions that led officers to detain three people for questioning. On the evening of November 4 authorities arrested 35-year-old Daniel Revere Matthews and charged him with first-degree murder in Malone’s death; he was booked into the Arapahoe County jail and held without bond as the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office prepared to prosecute.

If anyone saw activity in the 1400 block of North Kenton Street or the nearby parking lot on November 1, or has information about Diana Malone that could help the case, please come forward.
