On the evening of October 10, 1999, Sedric Jerome Gillespie, a 23-year-old Black man, was sitting in his parked car in the 2200 block of Olive Street in northeast Denver when another vehicle pulled up alongside. Occupants of that second vehicle fired multiple shots into Sedric’s car, striking him. He died at the scene from his wounds.

The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation but the shooters have never been identified. No arrests have been announced and investigators have not publicly established a motive. The case went cold, and Sedric’s family and friends remain without answers.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information that could help solve Sedric’s killing, please contact the Denver Police Department.
