A confrontation in a Denver motel parking lot on the evening of July 2, 2019, ended with one man dead. The victim was identified as 42-year-old Omar King, who suffered a gunshot wound in the east side of the Western Motel parking lot on the 8400 block of East Colfax Avenue and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses near the manager’s office said they heard screaming and saw a man later identified as Herman Colbert in a silver Audi. The witness account says King struck Colbert at least twice in the face, and that as King walked away Colbert exited the Audi and fired a single shot. Officers found Colbert lying face down with a firearm a short distance away; surveillance video reportedly supported the witness account. Colbert was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder in connection with King’s death.

Are there witnesses who were nearby that evening or anyone with knowledge of events in that parking lot who can add details?
