In the afternoon hours of a Tuesday in Denver, Colorado, the vibrant life of 34-year-old Travis Kimbrough-Sanders was tragically cut short. On September 22, 2015, at a gas station and car wash in the Five Points neighborhood, a burst of gunfire erupted, forever altering the lives of three individuals. Kimbrough-Sanders, a male, was struck by the hail of bullets, sustaining a fatal gunshot wound.
Emergency services were dispatched to the chaotic scene near 35th Avenue and Downing Street
around 3:20 p.m.. Kimbrough-Sanders was rushed to Denver Health, but his injuries proved too severe, and he was pronounced dead later that afternoon. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner would later confirm that his death was a homicide.
The violence of that day did not end with Kimbrough-Sanders. Another man, 28-year-old Sergio Evelynmoe, was also fatally shot during the same incident. He was transported to a hospital by a private vehicle but succumbed to his injuries early the next morning. A third victim, a 17-year-old male whose name was not released, was also wounded in the shooting but was expected to survive.
In the immediate aftermath, the Denver Police Department launched an investigation into the double homicide. Investigators worked to piece together the events that led to the deadly encounter. They revealed that they were seeking to speak with the driver of the private vehicle that had taken Evelynmoe to the hospital, considering them a person of interest. However, in the initial reports, police had not released any information about potential suspects or a motive for the shooting. They appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward and contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. As of late 2025, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of suspects in the killing of Travis Kimbrough-Sanders and Sergio Evelynmoe, leaving their case unsolved.
