Mark Berman, known as Munky, was a well-regarded figure in Denver’s Barnum West biker community and ran a towing company that catered to motorcycle owners. On the afternoon of October 13, 2019, the 59-year-old was shot multiple times outside his parked truck on Xavier Street and later pronounced dead at Denver Health Medical Center.

Police arrested 41-year-old Alberto Calcurian after the shooting; Calcurian placed a 911 call and officers found a handgun on the floor of a residence. Calcurian was charged with first-degree murder. Authorities did not release a motive or explain any connection between Berman and Calcurian, and no witnesses to the actual shooting were immediately identified despite multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired.

Hundreds of bikers held a memorial ride and rally organized by Laurie Montoya of Biker Down to honor Munky Mark, and his son Marcus spoke about the family’s grief and gratitude for the community’s support. Does anyone have information about Berman’s last day or knew of any connection between him and the arrested suspect?
