Rene Perez, 56, was shot in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 200 block of South Teller Street in Littleton, Colorado, on the evening of October 15, 2019. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his wounds. Investigators described the incident as an attempted carjacking that escalated into a fatal shooting.

Within a month of the killing, four people were arrested in connection with Perez’s death: 20-year-old Philippe Destree, 19-year-old Dominic Joseph Maestas, 18-year-old Manuel Garcia, and 21-year-old Autumn Lucero. All four faced charges including first-degree murder, three were reported to have already been on probation for other offenses, and they were held without bond at the Jefferson County Jail as the case moved into court.

Perez is remembered in his community. Does anyone have information about the shooting or saw activity around South Teller Street on the night of October 15, 2019?
