In the early morning hours of May 29th, 1976, the quiet Park Hill neighborhood of Denver was disturbed by a grim discovery. The body of a young man, later identified as Dwayne Leroy Moulton, was found lying in an alley near East 35th Avenue and Kearney Street. An on-scene investigation by the Denver Police Department quickly determined that the twenty-one-year-old male had been shot to death.
Further investigation revealed that in the hours leading up to his murder, Moulton had been at a
local nightclub named Mr. Lucky's. He was last seen there before his life was tragically cut short. The circumstances surrounding his departure from the club and what led to the fatal encounter in the alley remain unclear.
Despite the initial investigation, the case of Dwayne Leroy Moulton's murder grew cold over the years. To date, there has been no information released to the public regarding any arrests made in connection with the homicide, nor have any suspects been officially named. The case remains an unsolved mystery, a lingering question in the history of the city's law enforcement. The Denver Police Department continues to seek information from the public, hoping that someone might come forward with the key detail that could bring resolution to this decades-old case.
