Gilbert Garcia was 19 and home from Adams State College when he was shot and killed in northeast Denver on the evening of February 8, 2007. He was driving a pickup with two others on East 34th Avenue around 9:00 p.m. when a dark-colored car pulled alongside and a single shot from that vehicle struck him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Garcia had recently enrolled in nursing studies and was the first in his family to attend college; his family said he was devoted to them and concerned for his sister’s safety. Investigators suspected the shooting might have been gang-related, possibly mistaken identity or a random act, but no specific suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The vehicle was only described as a dark-colored car.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Gilbert have information that could help the investigation?
