Who killed Richard Elliott?

Richard Elliott was grocery shopping at Alfalfa’s market on April 17, 1999. When he left the grocery store, he walked to the parking lot and got into his vehicle in the store’s parking lot. The Denver Police Department said that’s when an unknown man walked up, shot Elliott, and left the area on foot.

Elliott’s murder remains unsolved more than 23 years later.

At the time of his murder, DPD said he was working for a small Colorado Springs computer company as a computer engineer.
