On the afternoon of September 23, 1978, gunfire near 21st and Larimer Streets in Denver drew officers who were already on a service call. In the 1300 block of 21st Street they found 31-year-old Owen Snorgrass, a white male, who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The motive and the circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear. The person or persons who killed Mr. Snorgrass fled and have not been publicly identified; no arrests have been announced. The Denver Police Department lists the case as an open, active cold case.

If anyone knew Owen, was in that neighborhood on September 23, 1978, or has information that could help, please come forward.
