Patrolman David Roberts, 58, was shot in the face on March 29, 1985, while attempting to arrest a suspect involved in a thirteen-hour crime spree at an apartment building on South Clarkson Street in Denver. The gunshot left him with paralysis on the left side of his body; he retired from the Denver Police Department after six years of service because of his injuries.

Roberts lived with the effects of that wound for decades. He died on May 27, 2011, the result of complications from the injuries he suffered in 1985. The person responsible was arrested and later convicted of assault. Roberts is survived by a daughter, a brother, and two sisters.
