On the evening of December 1, 2018, 37-year-old Jacy Kadison-Marshall was fatally shot inside an apartment building on the 1500 block of Filbert Court in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood. The shooter, 33-year-old Michael Anthony Pikes, called 911 to report that he had shot Kadison-Marshall and claimed self-defense, then disconnected and fired additional rounds at the victim. Responding officers found Pikes on a second-floor landing; he led them to his apartment and told them the wounded victim was inside. Kadison-Marshall was taken to Denver Health Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Pikes was arrested and charged with murder. He told investigators he believed Kadison-Marshall was armed. The case went to trial and, after eight hours of deliberation in March 2020, a Denver jury rejected the self-defense claim and found Pikes guilty of first-degree murder. Sentencing was scheduled for May 1, 2020.

If anyone knew Jacy or was in the Park Hill area that night, any detail could help build a clearer picture of what happened.
