DENVER — The Denver Police Department (DPD) on Monday asked for the public's help in their investigation into the murder last month of 16-year-old Joshua Melbihess.
The teen was found dead Sept. 26, in the street in the 1600 block of South Julian Way, near West Mexico Avenue, in west Denver. That's in the area of Sanderson Gulch between South Lowell and Federal boulevards.
According to the Denver Medical Examiner's Office, he died from a gunshot wound.

Metro Denver Crime Stoppers works by assigning a code to people who anonymously submit a tip. Information is shared with law enforcement, and Crime Stoppers is notified at the conclusion of the investigation.
