Christopher Jesse Flores was 21 when he was fatally shot in Denver on April 24, 2015. A Denver native, he graduated from DC 21 in 2012 and was known to friends and family for a quiet demeanor, an endearing smile, and a love of cooking. He enjoyed weekend trips to the mountains with his father and siblings and spent much of his free time skateboarding at the Denver Skatepark. Employment included jobs at Sprouts, the Coliseum, and later as a budtender at POTCO.

A suspect in Flores’s killing was identified and apprehended the same day after a chase that ended in a crash on Interstate 25; the individual was held on a murder charge. Few details about the shooting, the suspect’s identity, specific charges, or the legal outcome are available. Some online forums have suggested a possible gang connection, though that has not been confirmed. Does anyone have verifiable information about the investigation or outcome that could help the family find answers?
