Dequincy Janeah King was 19 when he was shot and killed in Colorado Springs in the early morning of January 24, 2004. He had recently moved from Mississippi to find work and support his wife and stepchildren. On the night of January 23 he attended an after-hours party at Papasan’s Sports Bar and later went to sit or rest in a car parked at a nearby apartment complex.

Friends checked on him periodically; about 3:50 a.m. someone found him bleeding from the face after he had been shot. A female friend drove him to Memorial Hospital and left him at the emergency entrance. He was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. on January 24. The Colorado Springs Police Department treated the death as a homicide and said the parking lot had a reputation for illicit activity, but the motive has not been determined.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case is currently cold but listed as open. Did anyone who knew Dequincy, who was there that night, or who remembers activity in that parking lot come forward with information?
