DENVER — The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner on Thursday identified the motorcyclist who died on Interstate 70 near Colorado Boulevard two days before.
Kyle Van Loozenoord, 32, died from a gunshot wound, according to a news release from the medical examiner. His death was classified as a homicide.
DPD said in a tweet Tuesday that they were investigating a single-vehicle crash on the eastbound lanes of the highway near Colorado Boulevard that was reported around 12:20 a.m.
Several hours later, police said the incident was being investigated as a shooting and that they were working to develop information about a suspect. In an update later Tuesday morning, DPD said the victim, a man, had died from his injuries.
No other information about the circumstance of the shooting were released.
As of Thursday morning, DPD said no suspect has been arrested and the shooting is still under investigation.
The eastbound lanes of the highway were closed from Brighton Boulevard to Colorado Boulevard for several hours as a result of the investigation.
