Timothy Ed Smith, 23, was shot while seated in his car on the 2500 block of Washington Street in Denver on the night of December 19, 1992. Unknown assailants opened fire on the vehicle; Timothy was taken to a local hospital and died the same day from his wounds. Investigators describe no clear confrontation at the scene and say there were no immediate witnesses able to identify the shooter or shooters.

The case file fixes place and time precisely but records few leads from the night itself, and early investigative threads faded in the months afterward. Denver’s Cold Case Unit and the Colorado Cold Case Database list the case as unsolved with unknown suspect or suspects and note there have been no arrests. Anyone who remembers a face, a name, or any detail about that December night is asked to come forward with information.
