Simon Amaro, 41, was shot and killed on the night of June 17, 1980, after leaving Richie’s Bar near West 26th Avenue and Federal Boulevard in Denver. Witnesses reported he left the bar after closing and was confronted by unknown individuals near his parked car; he died from gunshot wounds during that encounter.

In the days after the killing his 17-year-old daughter, Joann Amaro, grew frustrated that no arrests were made and believed witnesses were too afraid to speak. Denver Police told her they suspected three men who were also linked to a robbery in Golden the previous day; one of those men reportedly confessed then recanted. Authorities said they lacked sufficient evidence to file charges.

The case remains unsolved and is now cold. Can anyone who was near Richie’s Bar on June 17, 1980, or who has information about the three suspects or the Golden robbery, help the investigation?
