Elias Eugene Pickett, 27, was found dead in the middle of Locust Street in Commerce City, Colorado, in the early morning of February 16, 2019, after police were called about a shooting around 6 a.m. Investigators believe he was dragged from a vehicle and shot nine times, then left where he succumbed to his wounds. The Commerce City Police Department opened an immediate homicide investigation.

Detectives worked the case for about a year, but when presented to the District Attorney’s office the evidence was judged circumstantial and charges were declined. The investigation was closed with no suspects publicly identified and no arrests announced. The police continue to ask anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area that morning see a vehicle or person that might help explain what happened to Elias?
