On October 25, 2004, 35-year-old Nicolas Ferrel-Ibarra was shot and killed in Denver at about 9:50 a.m. while sitting in his vehicle near West Florida Avenue and South Federal Boulevard. Two individuals approached and demanded a bank deposit he was carrying; when he attempted to drive away one of the men fired, fatally wounding him. Before moving to Denver, Ferrel-Ibarra worked as a reporter in Juarez, Mexico.

Detectives identified one suspect and an arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued for Felipe Jesus Buelna, born March 9, 1976, described as Hispanic, 6 feet 3 inches, 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The second suspect has not been publicly identified. The case has since gone cold and Buelna remains at large as investigators continue to seek information.

If anyone has information about that morning, the suspects, or the whereabouts of Felipe Jesus Buelna, please share what is known with the Denver Police Cold Case Unit.
