In the early morning hours of December 22, 2018, a tragic shooting shattered the peace at a Denver apartment complex, claiming the life of 23-year-old Henry Bizimana. The young Black / African American man was fatally wounded and died at the scene of the violent incident. Another man, 28-year-old Alpha Balde, was also critically injured in the shooting and succumbed to his injuries after being transported to a local hospital.
A third victim, a woman, was fortunate to survive the attack and was treated and released from the hospital.
Responding to the deadly shooting that unfolded near 10000 E Alameda Ave, Denver police launched an investigation into the double homicide. Their efforts led to the arrest of 29-year-old Nicholas Bradley Dansby late on the same Saturday night. Dansby was taken into custody and held for investigation of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in connection with the deadly shooting.
While an arrest was made, the motive behind the shooting and the exact relationship between Dansby and the victims were not immediately made public by law enforcement officials. Following the arrest of their primary suspect, police indicated that they were not actively searching for any other individuals in connection with the incident that tragically cut short the lives of Henry Bizimana and Alpha Balde.
