In the early morning hours of August 12, 2015, multiple gunshots were reported near 22nd and Stout Street in Denver. Officers arrived about 2:15 a.m. and found 36-year-old Derick Wilford, a Black male, beside a streetlight with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Denver Health Medical Center but was pronounced dead a few hours later.

The Denver Police Department opened a homicide investigation and the coroner’s office confirmed the cause of death. Detectives say they received conflicting information early on and did not have a clear suspect description. Investigators believe several people were at the intersection when the shooting occurred and have asked the public for help. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help bring answers for Wilford’s family, please contact the Denver Police Department.
