Peter Glaser, 19, was found with severe head injuries at his workplace, Philips and Andersons Lakewood Tire and Wheel at 6321 W. Alameda Ave., just before midnight on September 17, 1982. The incident was first treated as an industrial accident, but three days later x-rays showed he had been shot and the business was later determined to have been robbed.

Glaser remained alive in a vegetative state for many years and died on January 15, 2003, at age 40. He was born October 28, 1963, and is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes. The Lakewood Police Department handled the investigation under agency case number 82-87564 in Jefferson County.

Key unanswered questions include who entered the business that night and who fired the shot that left Glaser incapacitated. Anyone with information about what happened at the tire shop on September 17, 1982, is asked to contact the Lakewood Police Department.
