Clifton Glasper III, 31, was killed in his Denver apartment on the 100 block of Washington Street in the early hours of February 17, 2003. According to investigators, one or more intruders forced their way into his home and shot him while he slept in his bedroom. Responding officers found him deceased after a 911 call reporting a possible home invasion and shooting.

Detectives found no sign of robbery, and the prevailing theory was that the attack was not random — the perpetrators likely knew Glasper and may have been inside the apartment before. Glasper worked as the building’s manager and was a father to a son and a young daughter; his family described him as gentle and playful. The case remains open with the Denver Police Cold Case Unit; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

If anyone knew Clifton, his movements that night, or who might have had reason to target him, please come forward with information.
