A welfare check on the morning of July 8, 2020, brought police to an apartment on East Albrook Drive in Denver and produced a devastating discovery: 14-year-old Xzavier Collier and 15-year-old Moses Chaney Harris had both been fatally shot. Initial reports had misidentified Xzavier’s gender; he was male.

The apartment belonged to 22-year-old Kalani Hayter, who was herself later found to be a homicide victim, and investigators linked those deaths to the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Yaun Yae Long at a liquor store a few days earlier. A 16-year-old, Jayque Owens, was arrested and later sentenced in connection with the deaths of Hayter and Long, but no public charges have been announced specifically for the killings of Xzavier and Moses.

Authorities appealed to the public for information about the double homicide, and the community held vigils for the two boys. The specific circumstances inside the apartment that led to Xzavier and Moses being shot, and who killed them, remain publicly unresolved.

If anyone knew Xzavier or Moses, or has information about what happened at the East Albrook Drive apartment, please come forward.
