On the evening of November 15, 1983, 38-year-old Haciento Villarreal, recently arrived from Mexico, was fatally shot after leaving his job at Fagan Iron and Metal Corporation on the 4600 block of Glencoe Street in Denver. He had been getting into a friend’s car and was seated in the passenger seat when the engine began to turn over and an unknown person or persons approached. Villarreal was shot and killed at that location.

No motive has been established and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Denver Police Department lists the case as an unsolved homicide and no arrests have been made in connection with the murder. Few details beyond the scene and victim’s identity are available.
