On the evening of February 29, 1980, family members went to 3300 East 27th Avenue in Denver after growing concerned about 44-year-old Ronald Alexander. They found him in the garage with a serious gunshot wound. Emergency personnel took him to a hospital, where he died of his injuries on March 1, 1980. His death was classified as a homicide.

The events that led to Ronald being in the garage and the motive for the shooting remain unclear. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case grew cold over the decades that followed. The Denver Police Department’s Cold Case Unit continues to seek information, and a reward is offered for tips that could lead to an arrest and prosecution.

If anyone knew Ronald, was in the neighborhood that night, or has information that might help solve this homicide, please come forward.
