Samuel Cameron, 25, was found dead on August 23, 2005, in a Denver alley near Pennsylvania and Bayaud avenues. He had been shot twice in the back of the head and his body was dragged from his car and left in the alley. Family described him as funny, charming, smart and intelligent; he was a father of two and his wife was pregnant with twins.

Investigators and family say the killing appeared calculated and that Samuel likely knew at least one of the people who got into his vehicle. Witnesses saw two Black men fleeing the scene: one about 6 feet 2 inches, 180 pounds, short hair, aged 18 to 24; the other about 5 feet 10 inches, 150 pounds. A watch and money were reported missing and, hours later, two men believed to be the killers burglarized Samuel’s apartment.

The Denver Police Department lists the case as an ongoing cold investigation. No arrests have been announced and no one has been definitively identified or charged. If anyone knew Samuel, saw him near Pennsylvania and Bayaud on August 23, 2005, or has information about the two men seen fleeing, please come forward.
