Charles Edward Jackson, a 59-year-old Black man, was shot dead in a Denver parking lot on the night of August 9, 2007. Around 10:50 p.m., he and another man were talking near the drive-through at the Popeye’s on East Colfax Avenue at Gaylord Street when one of the men produced a handgun and fired multiple times. Jackson was found with critical gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and later died of his injuries.

Witnesses said two men had been talking before the shooting; the assailant fled immediately in a vehicle described as an older model, four-door Volvo. Investigators pursued leads including a possible drug-related motive and believed the shooter was a white male, but witnesses could not positively identify him. No arrests have been announced and the case went cold.

Does anyone have information about that night, the vehicle, or the people seen near the Popeye’s on East Colfax and Gaylord?
