Benjamin Goldstein was 76 and ran Ben the Silversmith, a small jewelry shop at 1788 South Broadway near Mexico Avenue in Denver. On the night of May 14, 1979, two intruders broke into the store. Goldstein confronted them, a struggle or brief encounter occurred, and a shot rang out that fatally wounded him on his own premises. The assailants fled into the night and were never identified by name.

The case remains an open cold homicide with no arrests reported.

Did anyone who lived or worked near South Broadway in 1979 see anything that night or remember suspicious activity around Ben the Silversmith?
