Rosando Anthony Martinez

Age 16

Denver, Colorado

Life lost by the smoke shop

He was last seen in front of a smoke shop at Sixth Avenue and North Perry Street  in West Denver. Exactly what happened next is unclear: There was a news video and a story reporting that there were two men killed and one critically injured.

Afterward, the police reported two suspects fleeing on westbound Sixth Street. A witness said drivers pulled over to try to help the victims.

He was one of them. Rosando Anthony Martinez, 16, was shot and killed on May 30, 2018, in Denver, Colorado.
