In the late summer of 1986, the life of a young man was tragically cut short in an alleyway in Denver, Colorado. Anthony Casias, a 30-year-old Hispanic male, was found deceased on September 14th of that year. The grim discovery was made in the 3200 block of an alley between Gilpin and Williams Streets. An investigation into his death determined that he had been fatally shot.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Anthony Casias's murder remains an open wound for the community and law
enforcement. The Denver Police Department lists his death as a cold case, a silent testament to a life taken too soon and a mystery that has endured for decades. Investigators have not publicly identified any suspects in the years following the incident, and no arrests have been made in connection with his death.
The circumstances surrounding the final moments of Anthony Casias's life are still largely unknown. Authorities continue to seek information from the public that might shed new light on this decades-old homicide. The hope remains that someone, somewhere, holds the key to unlocking the truth and providing closure for a family that has waited many years for justice. The official cause of death remains a gunshot wound, a violent end to a life that is still remembered by those who seek answers.
