Troy Funchess, 40, was shot in Denver around midnight on July 1, 2017, and died of his wounds on the morning of July 13, 2017. The shooting occurred at the intersection of 29th Avenue and York Street, where neighbors first thought they heard fireworks before sirens arrived. Two men were found in the street with gunshot wounds; 35-year-old Don Sperow died at a hospital the same night and Funchess was transported to Denver Health Medical Center in critical condition.

Witnesses said a red sedan fled westbound on 29th Avenue immediately after the shots. The Denver Police Department classified the incident as a homicide and did not release information about suspects. A memorial service for Funchess was scheduled for July 20th.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see that red sedan or know who was in it?
