In the pre-dawn hours of a Wednesday in Denver, Colorado, Robert Goad, a 58-year-old man, was driving his pickup truck to his job as a FedEx driver, a routine he followed many mornings. Tragically, this day would be his last. At approximately 4 a.m., as he drove near Colorado Boulevard and 11th Avenue, he was fatally shot. The senseless act of violence left his family and community in shock and searching for answers.
Robert was remembered by his family as a kind and loving man who was
cherished by those who knew him. His sister, Barbara Goad, described him as someone who didn't have any enemies and was simply on his way to work. The seemingly random nature of the shooting was particularly horrifying to his loved ones. He was looking forward to celebrating five years of marriage to his husband, Oscar, just a few days after he was killed.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the Denver Police Department had no suspects and no clear motive for the crime. Robert's family made a heartfelt public plea for any information that could lead to the arrest of the person or people responsible for his death. They couldn't comprehend why anyone would target him. As of the latest available information, the case remains unsolved, with no arrests having been made and no suspects publicly identified. The lack of resolution has left a painful void for his family, who continue to seek justice for a life cut short.
