On the evening of June 14, 2001, 22-year-old Raymond Chappell was shot and killed during an armed carjacking in Denver. Chappell, a Black male, had pulled into a business on the 9600 block of East Alameda Avenue with a female companion when an unknown assailant approached with a gun and demanded that Raymond exit the vehicle. The attacker shot both occupants and then fled the scene in Raymond’s vehicle.

Both victims were taken to a hospital; the woman survived but Raymond Chappell succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but the person who fatally shot Chappell and stole the car remains unidentified and at large. No arrests have been announced.

Anyone who remembers that night, saw activity around the 9600 block of East Alameda Avenue, or has information about the stolen vehicle is asked to contact investigators.
