DENVER — All they have is a name and a neighborhood but Denver Police are hoping the public can help find a man they believe may have crucial information regarding a man's shooting death.
Authorities are looking for a Capitol Hill resident named "Paul" in connection with Gary McLaughlin's homicide.
According to Denver Police on May 28 around 3:00 a.m., McLaughlin,35, was shot and killed near East 12th Avenue and North Sherman Street.
"I couldn't believe that it was true," Gary's dad, Robert McLaughlin, said. "He was a great kid with a big heart and this was a senseless thing to happen to him."
Authorities haven't made any arrests but are looking for someone named 'Paul' who lives in the area and might have some information. Police have not said if 'Paul' is a person of interest or a suspect in this case.
Gary's dad just hopes anyone with information comes forward.
"We all as a family hope they find the person that did it," he said.
