On the night of October 13, 2001, 14-year-old Jeremy Martinez was a passenger in a car traveling east on Interstate 70 in Denver near the Pecos Street exit when a second vehicle pulled alongside and someone opened fire. Jeremy was struck by a bullet, rushed to a hospital, and died of his wounds on October 14, 2001.

The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation but was unable to identify the shooter or the suspect vehicle. The assailant’s car fled the scene and the case later went cold; no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is also seeking information that could help resolve the case.

Jeremy’s family was left to grieve a sudden, violent loss. Does anyone who drove I-70 near Pecos Street that night or who remembers seeing a vehicle pull alongside have information that could help investigators?
