Ernest Anselmo Gallegos was 18 when he was shot and killed in Denver on September 6, 2003. After speaking with a group of females in a vehicle near West 10th Avenue and Federal Boulevard, he drove south on Federal when a dark-colored car pulled up alongside his vehicle and shots were fired into his car. His vehicle then struck a pole; he was taken to a hospital but died of his gunshot wounds.

The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation. The shooters fled the scene, and the case later went cold with no arrests and no suspects publicly identified. Investigators are seeking information about the dark-colored vehicle and the people responsible for the shooting that ended Ernest’s life.

If anyone has information about that night, the vehicle, or the individuals involved, please share what is known with investigators.
