On April 17, 1974, 29-year-old Virgil Delano Gambles was fatally shot outside the Brown Jug Liquor Store on East Cucharras Street in Colorado Springs. The shooting followed an earlier altercation at the store that involved Gambles’s brother and another man. Virgil had left the scene with his brother and nephew but returned with them to make a purchase. While the three men were outside the store, shots were fired; all three were hit. Virgil was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds. His brother and nephew survived with injuries.

The homicide remains unsolved and authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting or potential suspects to come forward. Has anyone in the community heard anything about this incident or the people involved?
