On a cold evening in Denver, Colorado, the last day of February in 1980, family members of Ronald Alexander grew concerned. Their unease led them to his home, where a grim discovery awaited them in the garage. There, they found 44-year-old Ronald, a Black male, suffering from a serious gunshot wound. The tranquility of the evening was shattered by the urgent call to the Denver Police Department, who promptly responded to the scene at 3300 East 27th Avenue.
Emergency services transported Ronald to a local hospital, where medical staff fought to save his life. Despite their efforts, he succumbed to his injuries the following day, March 1, 1980. His death was classified as a homicide, launching an investigation into who was responsible for the fatal shooting. The motive behind the attack and the events leading up to the discovery in his garage remained shrouded in mystery.
Decades have passed since Ronald Alexander's life was tragically cut short. The case has grown cold, with no arrests made and no suspects publicly identified. The Denver Police Department's Cold Case Unit continues to seek answers, appealing to the public for any information that might shed light on this long-unsolved murder. A reward is offered for information that could finally lead to the arrest and prosecution of the individual or individuals responsible for his death, bringing a measure of closure to a case that has remained open for over four decades.
