Denver police are searching for leads in a cold-case shooting that killed a man nearly 30 years ago, according to the department.
Robert Escobedo Jr., 28, was shot and killed on Oct. 16, 1997, during an argument behind the now-defunct High Rise Lounge, 3240 W. Colfax Ave., according to the Denver Police Department.
Witnesses told investigators that they saw several men leaving the scene of the shooting in a white Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, police said.
Escobedo was also seen arguing with three unidentified men before shots were fired, according to police.
“Despite many years of investigative efforts, this crime remains unsolved,” police stated in a Thursday crime alert.
Anyone with information on the 1997 shooting is asked to contact investigators at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
