A pajama party at a Denver Tech Center apartment turned deadly in the early hours of February 19, 2020, when 26-year-old Marquis Johnson answered a knock at the door around 2:30 a.m. A man and a woman forced their way into the Pearl DTC Apartments unit; both were armed. An exchange of gunfire then erupted between the intruders and another person at the gathering. Johnson was fatally shot. Two other men were also wounded, one critically and another with a non-life-threatening leg gunshot wound.

Police later identified the intruders as 34-year-old Mark Anthony Howard and 24-year-old Roxanne Rodriguez-Hernandez (also reported as Roxanne Rodriquez-Hernandez). Both fled the scene and were named as armed and dangerous. An investigation led to their arrests, and the Denver District Attorney charged Howard and Rodriguez-Hernandez in connection with Johnson’s death. Howard was charged with 25 felony counts, Rodriguez-Hernandez with 24, including two counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder, burglary, assault, and menacing; Howard also faced possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

Does anyone have information about who attended the party that night or about the knock at the door shortly before the shooting?
