In the late hours of a Monday evening in Colorado Springs, a discovery was made that would forever alter the lives of one family. The body of 21-year-old Anthony Kenneth David Glyshaw, a male, was found in the road in the vicinity of Panorama Drive and Castle Road. When police were called to the scene at 9:00 p.m. on May 2nd, 2016, they found that the young man had been shot.
His death was quickly ruled a homicide, launching an investigation into the untimely and violent end to a young life.
Originally from Battle Creek, Michigan, Anthony had moved to Colorado, a place whose beauty he cherished and where he had family. He was employed as an asphalt laborer for a local business, Best Bid Seal Coat. Those who knew him remembered a good-hearted and kind soul whose laughter was a memorable trait. He was known for his forgiving nature and his generosity. In his free time, he enjoyed the thrill of riding his dirt bike and had a keen interest in working on cars. A man of varied interests, he also enjoyed music and was a skilled chess player, often challenging his brothers and father to a match.
In the wake of his death, the Colorado Springs Police Department began their investigation. However, in the initial stages, they were unable to identify any persons of interest in connection with the shooting. The authorities appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. Despite the passage of time, publicly available information does not indicate that any arrests have been made, nor have any suspects been named in the homicide of Anthony Glyshaw. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family and friends, who were left to mourn a young man who, at only 21, had so much of his life yet to live.
