In the winter of 1987, a young man's life was cut tragically short in Denver, Colorado. On March 12, Clifford Boston, a 24-year-old male, was discovered deceased, the victim of a fatal shooting. His body was located at East 56th Avenue and Roslyn Street, a desolate area that held the final moments of his life. The discovery marked the beginning of a long and frustrating investigation for the Denver Police Department.
The case, registered under agency number 1987-211958, was quickly
determined to be a homicide. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the circumstances surrounding Clifford's death remained shrouded in mystery. Investigators worked to piece together a timeline of his last known activities and identify anyone who may have wished him harm. However, the trail grew cold, and leads became exhausted. No suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests were made in connection with the killing.
Years turned into decades, and Clifford Boston's case was eventually classified as a cold case. The sparse details that are publicly known paint a somber picture of a young life ended by violence, with no resolution for his family or community. The Denver Police Department continues to hold the case file, a reminder of a life lost and a quest for justice that remains unfulfilled. Anyone with information is still encouraged to come forward in the hopes that one day, the silence surrounding Clifford Boston's death will finally be broken.
