On the morning of October 31, 2018, Jacob Michael Clymer, 32, of Evergreen, Colorado, was shot and killed in Aurora during a transaction to sell an Xbox video game system arranged online. The meeting took place about 11:15 a.m. outside the Fitzsimmon Junction Apartments near East Montview Boulevard and Billings Street. Jacob and his wife Miranda had agreed to sell the console for $250 but were met by 15-year-old Brigham Mendez and another person who said they only had $245. After the couple agreed to the lower amount, Mendez shot Jacob in the chest, head, and abdomen and then fled.

First responders found Jacob on the ground and he was taken to a hospital, where he died. The obituary describes Jacob stepping in front of his wife to protect her. Aurora police identified and arrested 15-year-old Brigham Mendez and charged him with first-degree murder.
