Keyru Mustafa Lolo was 24 when he was shot and killed in the courtyard of the Garden Court apartments on the 1100 block of Syracuse Street in Denver on the evening of October 16, 2009. He had moved to Denver about five months earlier to be near extended family and to work, and his family remembers him as a friendly, hardworking young man with plans to return to college.

According to reports, Keyru received a phone call, left his cousin’s apartment, and was struck by multiple gunshot wounds while crossing the complex courtyard. He was taken to Denver Health Medical Center and pronounced dead. Detectives canvassed the complex and the Ethiopian community circulated flyers and posted a billboard; a reward for information was raised to $10,000.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the motive remains unknown. If anyone has information about Keyru or the night of October 16, 2009, please share what you know with investigators.
