In the summer of 1995, a tragic event unfolded on a street in Colorado Springs that would leave a family grieving and a community with unanswered questions. On the afternoon of July 13th, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call about a man slumped over the steering wheel of a running vehicle in the 1700 block of South Academy Boulevard. When officers arrived, they discovered Randolph L. LeBeau, a 36-year-old male, inside his black Dodge Daytona.
He had sustained an apparent gunshot wound and was promptly transported to a local hospital, but his life could not be saved.
The initial investigation into the death of Randolph LeBeau suggested a possible motive of robbery. It was believed that he may have been carrying a substantial amount of cash at the time of his death, yet very little money was found on his person. This has led law enforcement to believe that his killing may have been the result of a robbery gone wrong. Despite the efforts of the Colorado Springs Police Department, no arrests have ever been made in connection with his murder, and no specific suspects have been publicly identified.
The case has since gone cold, but it has not been forgotten. The death of Randolph L. LeBeau is now part of the Colorado Springs Police Department's Homicide Cold Case Unit's files. Investigators continue to seek information from the public, hoping that someone will come forward with the crucial detail that could finally bring closure to his family and see that justice is served. The investigation remains open, a somber reminder of a life cut short and a crime that has remained unsolved for decades.
