In the late summer of 2013, the life of a young man who had once fled civil war was tragically cut short on a street in Denver, Colorado. Harry Morgan, a 26-year-old Black male, was shot and killed on August 23, 2013. The incident occurred at 1540 Uinta Street, where officers responded to a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Morgan suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was quickly transported to a local hospital, but the injuries he sustained proved to be fatal.
Born in Monrovia, Liberia, Harry had come to the United States with his family at the age of eleven to escape the conflict in his home country. They settled in Denver, where he grew up and graduated from George Washington High School. Known for his love of basketball and music, he held onto the dream of one day becoming a recording artist. He was a father, a son, and a brother, deeply loved by his family who now faced a future without him.
The investigation into Harry Morgan's death was handled by the Denver Police Department. However, the case grew cold, with no arrests made and no suspects publicly identified. Years have passed, and his death is now listed among Colorado's cold case homicides. The silence surrounding his case has been a source of ongoing pain for his loved ones and a point of discussion in online forums, where community members have expressed their bewilderment at the lack of leads. The Denver Police Department continues to solicit information from the public, hoping that a crucial piece of evidence might one day emerge and bring justice to Harry Morgan and his family.
