On the evening of May 1, 1992, Gene Edward Sonny Arnold, 40, was shot and killed in a Denver alley near the 5100 block of Beach Court and Bryant Street. Witnesses reported Arnold was talking with several other men when one produced a shotgun and fired two shots, killing him at the scene. A car was heard speeding away after the shooting.

The Denver Police Department investigated but, over time, the case grew cold. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an unsolved homicide on Denver’s cold-case list.

If anyone has information about that night, the people Arnold was with, or the vehicle that fled, please contact the Denver Police Department.
