The Denver Police Department is conducting a homicide investigation following the discovery of a woman's body in the City Park West neighborhood. On Wednesday, the deceased was identified as 20-year-old Monet Grace Mckittrick, also known among her friends and community as "Josie." She was found near the intersection of East 16th Avenue and North High Street, as 9News reports.
The case initially began as an outdoor death investigation but was later confirmed to be a homicide inquiry yesterday. The circumstances that led to Mckittrick's death remain unclear, and the police department has not provided details regarding potential suspects or motives in this senseless act of violence. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, hoping the community can assist in unraveling the events that culminated in this tragedy.
As reported by Denver7, Denver police have released a bulletin through Metro Denver Crime Stoppers to gather leads. The bulletin reiterated the call for public assistance, denoting the importance of community engagement in solving Mckittrick's homicide.
While the Office of the Medical Examiner is working closely with the Denver police to ascertain the exact cause of Mckittrick’s untimely death, official statements from the medical examiner's office were not immediately available. The Denver Post notes that the investigators have not made any arrests in connection with the case thus far. The paucity of information and the elusiveness of immediate answers cast a somber shadow over the City Park West neighborhood, as residents await updates with a mixture of sadness and apprehension.
