On a summer evening in 2017, 26-year-old Lydia Coronado was fatally shot near Huston Lake Park in southwest Denver. The shooting happened on July 16 while Coronado and a male companion were in a car; the companion was critically injured but survived. Coronado, a mother of two boys, was able to drive a block after being shot before first responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

Witnesses say Coronado and her friend had met 18-year-old Jesus Jurado-Lugo at the park and were in his truck when an argument began. The surviving victim later told police Jurado-Lugo pulled a gun in an attempt to steal his gold necklace; when the victim resisted, he and Coronado fled to their own car and Jurado-Lugo opened fire.

The suspect was identified early on but eluded capture for years, leaving the case active while Coronado’s family searched for answers. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night that hasn’t been shared with investigators?
