On the morning of Sunday, June 2, 2019, 27-year-old Michael Magallanes was found with fatal gunshot injuries in the 5100 block of Morrison Road in Denver’s Westwood neighborhood. Police were called at about 6 a.m.; by 10 a.m. the investigation had been upgraded to a homicide. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner later identified the victim as Michael David Magallanes.

Authorities released no information about suspects in the immediate aftermath and, in the days that followed, provided very little public detail. The Denver Police Department issued a reward of up to $2,000 for information to help solve the case and investigators considered whether a separate fatal shooting and assault about a mile away in Lakewood that same morning were connected, but said no definitive link could be made.

If anyone knew Michael or witnessed activity in the Westwood or Morrison Road area that morning, please come forward with information.
