In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Denver, Colorado, a burst of gunfire shattered the peace near Crestmoor Park, forever altering the lives of three young men and their families. The incident, which unfolded around 1:20 a.m. on September 27, 2020, in the 100 block of South Monaco Parkway, left one man dead and two others critically wounded.
The deceased was identified as 19-year-old Ayrton Jamaal 'AJ' Dable.
He was a recent high school graduate with a passion for music and a bright future ahead of him. The two other male victims, whose identities were not publicly released, were rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Denver police responded to the scene of the triple shooting, but initial reports provided limited information about the circumstances leading up to the violence. Authorities did not immediately release any details about a potential suspect or suspects, and it was unclear what transpired in the moments before the shots were fired.
In the days following the shooting, the Denver Police Department appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. A reward of up to $2,000 was offered for tips that could lead to an arrest. Despite these efforts, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the death of Ayrton Dable. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his loved ones and the Denver community.
