On the evening of July 31, 2015, 17-year-old Jorge Elias Lopez-Ramirez was fatally shot at about 8:10 p.m. in the parking area of the Lowe’s Mercado at 1320 South Federal Boulevard in Denver. Friends and family knew him as Jorge Lopez. He was transported from the scene by responding officers but did not survive his gunshot wound.

Denver Police opened a homicide investigation, but details about what led to the shooting have been scarce and the case received limited media attention after the killing. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the investigation remains unsolved. Authorities circulated a photo of Lopez-Ramirez, publicized the shooting location, and offered a reward of up to $2,000 for information.

Anyone who knew Jorge, saw activity in that parking lot that evening, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
