Tyre Cary Falls, a 27-year-old Black male, was shot on the night of October 19, 2019, in east Denver. Officers responded to reports of a shooting, and Falls was rushed to a hospital, where he died from his injuries. Two days later, the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner formally identified him and ruled his death a homicide caused by a gunshot wound.
Early investigative details suggested the incident was isolated.
Police said a woman was taken into custody in connection with the shooting, though they did not identify her and described the case as still under investigation at the time. Authorities did not announce charges in those initial updates, and no suspect information beyond the detained woman was released publicly then.
Community and memorial pages later recorded Falls’ death as part of Denver’s 2019 gun violence toll, listing his full name and age and noting the October 19 date. Funeral records reflect his passing that day, with services arranged locally shortly afterward.
