On the evening of May 8, 2019, 18-year-old Lloyd Chavez IV was shot outside his home on East Powers Lane in Centennial, Colorado. A Cherokee Trail High School student, Chavez had been selling vaping products; a meeting arranged around 9:30 p.m. under the pretense of buying vape juice pods was a setup for a robbery over about $25 worth of product. An altercation on the front lawn ended when Chavez was shot in the chest. His younger sister and grandmother were present and came to his aid. He was taken into surgery but died during the operation, shortly before his planned graduation.

Chavez was able, before surgery, to identify one assailant as Kenny, a junior at his high school. Investigators arrested four teenagers: Kenneth Gallegos, Demarea Mitchell, Juliana Julie Serrano, and Dominic Stager; all were charged as adults with first-degree murder and aggravated robbery. Serrano, then 17, admitted she arranged the meeting and said Mitchell fired the gun. Gallegos and Mitchell were later convicted of felony murder and related offenses and sentenced to life with parole eligibility after 40 years.

If anyone knew Lloyd, his activities, or the events that night, can you share information that might shed more light on what happened?
