A conversation in a Denver back bedroom on June 9, 1997, ended with gunfire in a crawl space and the death of 30-year-old Federico Gutierrez, who also used the name Federico Escalante. According to the Denver Police Department, two men went into the crawl space during that exchange; several shots were fired, one man emerged armed and fled, and Gutierrez was found deceased by responding officers.

Police opened a homicide investigation but the suspect disappeared and no arrests have been made. The identity of the person who spoke with Gutierrez before the shooting remains unknown and the case is unsolved.

Did anyone in Denver at that time know Gutierrez or remember seeing him with someone who might help investigators?
