On February 7, 2017, around 1:00 a.m., 32-year-old Timothy Tim Cruz was robbed at gunpoint near the RTD Light Rail station at 12th and Sheridan in Denver, Colorado. During the robbery Cruz was shot and killed. Two individuals approached him and carried out the robbery and shooting.

Police identified two suspects, Nathan Valdez and Ever Valles, who were arrested and charged in connection with the robbery and murder. Court records show both men later entered guilty pleas: Valles pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and accessory to murder in November 2017; Valdez pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, and aggravated robbery in February 2018. Sentencing followed on March 9, 2018, with Valles receiving 29 years and Valdez 58 years in prison.

One notable detail that drew attention during the investigation was that Valles had been released from the city jail shortly before the killing despite an ICE request to hold him. Does anyone have information about the area near 12th and Sheridan on the night of February 7, 2017, or remember seeing Cruz that evening?
