In the early hours of November 1, 2024, a Halloween party in Northglenn, a suburb of Denver, turned into a scene of tragedy. Adan Pacheco, a 20-year-old male, was shot and killed, his life cut short just as it was beginning. Pacheco and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Lorraine Quintana, had attended the party at a house near Belford Drive and Bruce Lane after taking their one-year-old daughter trick-or-treating.
Both were fatally wounded in a shooting that left another person dead and three others injured.
Family described Adan as an ambitious and protective young man with a heart of gold. He had recently completed basic training for the U.S. Army and had goals he was determined to achieve. He and his girlfriend, Lorraine, were working together to build a good life for their young family. Their sudden and violent deaths left their infant daughter an orphan and devastated their families, who remembered them as a loving couple with bright futures.
In the aftermath of the shooting, the Northglenn Police Department began an investigation into the triple homicide. While no arrests have been made, authorities have indicated that they have identified several suspects of interest. Investigators have been actively taking statements from witnesses who were present at the large house party, working to piece together the events that led to the deadly gunfire. The families of Adan Pacheco and Lorraine Quintana, grappling with their immense loss, have pleaded for justice and for anyone with information to come forward to the police.
