Andrew Gallegos was 30 when he was shot and killed in a Denver parking lot on the night of January 13, 1996. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of the Purple Turtle in the 4900 block of West Colfax Avenue after an altercation in which Gallegos and another person became involved with a third individual. The unidentified suspect produced a gun and fired, wounding both Gallegos and the person with him; the other victim survived, but Gallegos died at the hospital.

The shooter fled the scene and was never identified or arrested.
