In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 10, 2017, the life of Derrick Ratcliff, a 27-year-old man, was tragically cut short in Denver, Colorado. Known affectionately as 'Chop' to his friends and family, Ratcliff was a resident of the city where he would meet his untimely end. The shooting occurred around 1:45 a.m. outside the Mosaic Apartments, located at 7100 East Evans Avenue.
Following the incident, the Denver Police Department launched an investigation into the deadly shooting,
appealing to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible. Authorities urged anyone with knowledge of the shooting or Ratcliff's whereabouts before the incident to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers.
Despite the passage of time, the murder of Derrick Ratcliff remains an unsolved case that has since gone cold. The gunman who ended his life has never been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide. The lack of resolution has left a void for his loved ones, who continue to seek closure and justice for a life taken too soon.
