On the evening of January 5, 2018, 35-year-old Jose Herrera-Cabral was shot and killed outside the New Welcome Inn bar at 3759 Chestnut Place in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. The shooting occurred at about 7:57 p.m. and also claimed the life of 43-year-old Guillermo Ornelas; both men suffered multiple gunshot wounds, the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner reported.

Reports say Herrera-Cabral and Ornelas had been inside the bar, possibly playing pool, before the violence moved into the parking lot. Officers who arrived at the scene found the two men deceased. Denver police appealed to the public for help, offered a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest, and noted only that one report mentioned possible gang overtones without confirming motive or suspects.

No arrests have been publicly announced, and as of early 2020 the case remained open and unsolved. Can anyone who was in the Five Points area that night, or who knew Jose Herrera-Cabral or Guillermo Ornelas, provide information that might help investigators?
