Harold Rogers Jr., a 47-year-old white male, was found fatally shot inside his Denver home on the evening of December 9, 1974. Officers responded to a report of a shooting at 1675 South Wolff Street and discovered Rogers deceased within the residence, the violence contained to the place where he lived. Investigators documented the scene and opened a homicide case that has remained open ever since, with early details limited to the time of night, the location, and the stark fact that he had been
killed by gunfire.
Rogers had retired from the Denver Fire Department, a career of service that stood in contrast to the uncertainty surrounding his final hours. Despite investigative efforts over the years, authorities have not identified the person or people responsible, and no arrests have been announced. The case remains an unsolved homicide, with police continuing to seek tips from anyone who might remember something from that winter evening.
