A summer party in Denver’s Westwood neighborhood ended in gunfire on August 1, 2020. Shots were reported shortly after midnight in the 3000 block of West Virginia Avenue; when officers arrived they found multiple victims. Sixteen-year-old Diego Gonzales‑Vigil was fatally shot. Four other people — three men and a juvenile female — were wounded and taken to hospital, where they were expected to survive.

Diego was described as outgoing, smart, and funny. The Denver medical examiner identified him in the days after the shooting. Although a large number of people were at the gathering, authorities reported difficulty gathering information about what happened. The Denver Police Department appealed for tips and offered a reward, but in the immediate aftermath no arrests or suspect details were released.

If anyone was at that party or has information that could help resolve Diego’s killing, please share what you know with investigators.
