DENVER — The family of a man killed 20 years ago has helped increase the reward for information in the case to $100,000, according to the Denver Police Department (DPD) which said they're still "actively investigating" the homicide.
DPD officers responded to 2951 North Newton St. on Jan. 25. 2001, for a report of a shooting and located 33-year-old Thad Tigges, who went by TJ. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and died from his injuries, according to DPD.
According to the Colorado Bureau of Information (CBI) cold case database, a neighbor found Tigges after spotting an open door at his home, which is located a few blocks north of Sloans Lake.
The reward for information has now been increased to up to $100,000 by Tigges' family.
