On the night of July 1, 2017, gunfire at the intersection of 29th Avenue and York Street in Denver left two men critically wounded. Neighbors reported hearing two shots around midnight, and witnesses saw a red sedan speed west on 29th Avenue immediately afterward. Both Donald Don Sperow, 35, and 40-year-old Troy Funchess were found in the street and taken to Denver Health Medical Center.

Donald Sperow died at the hospital that night; the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner ruled his death caused by multiple gunshot wounds. Troy Funchess died of his injuries on July 13, 2017. The Denver Police Department investigated, but little has been released publicly about motives or suspects, and no arrests have been announced. If anyone saw the red sedan or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
