On the afternoon of May 29, 1976, police in Denver responded to a shooting at a residence in the Baker neighborhood, 58 W. Irvington Pl. Inside, 56-year-old Billie E. Harris, a white female, was found fatally shot alongside her roommate, Cecil Richards, who also died of gunshot wounds.

The double homicide produced no immediate arrests or identified suspects. The Denver Police Department investigated but eventually the case grew cold and remains unsolved. The files for both victims are now part of Denver’s cold case records and a reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and prosecution.

If anyone has recollection of the Baker neighborhood in 1976 or any detail about these killings, however small, please contact investigators with information.
