Leonard Howard was 23 when he was shot dead in his southeast Denver townhome on the evening of February 7, 1994. He and a friend arrived at 9825 East Girard Avenue at about 10:00 p.m. and found the front door open. Howard went upstairs to a second-floor bedroom, where he was confronted by an intruder and fatally shot. The friend who stayed downstairs could not describe the assailant or any vehicle used to leave the scene.

Police investigated both a burglary-that-turned-violent scenario and the possibility Howard had been targeted through personal conflicts, but neither line produced charges. His mother, Pearl Winn, publicly appealed for information. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in the case.

If anyone knew Leonard, his circle at the time, or saw anything near 9825 East Girard Avenue on the night of February 7, 1994, please share what you know.
