On New Year’s Day 1992 in Denver, 11-year-old Eric Villar, a Hispanic boy, was outside in the 2500 block of Emerson Street when a single gunshot struck him. He was taken to a local hospital but died of the wound. The shot was fired by an unknown individual or individuals.

The Denver Police Department investigated, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced. The case remains cold and unresolved, and authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about Eric’s death, please share what you know with investigators.
