Sixteen-year-old Abreham Yohhanes, a Black male, was shot and killed in an east Denver apartment building late on the night of September 15–16, 2021. Surveillance from the complex shows Yohhanes arriving with Ashlye Handy on the evening of September 15; cameras later record Handy leaving alone. Yohhanes was found early on September 16 with a fatal gunshot wound and did not survive.

The investigation identified Ashlye Handy as a person of interest; a month after the shooting the Denver Police Department sought information on her whereabouts and she turned herself in the next day. The Denver District Attorney described the death as a terrible, senseless tragedy. Yohhanes is listed in a Colorado report on domestic violence fatalities.

Did anyone in east Denver that night notice anything unusual at the apartment building or the surrounding block?
