COMMERCE CITY Colo, (KDVR) — A Commerce City family is bringing life back to their loved one's unsolved murder case.
Shiloh Bennett's family is still heartbroken and looking for answers seven months after the killing of the 18-year-old.
On Thursday, the Denver Metro Crime Stoppers announced a new $10,000 reward in that case.
The message from the family is simple. They want answers as to why their loved one was taken so soon, and they hope the latest incentive gives the family closure and the justice they desire.
“A gift was taken from the world and his dad wants everyone to know that," said Jeanna Hoch, a family friend of Shiloh Bennett’s family.
Hoch and Shiloh Bennett's family struggle with the fact they will never see him again.
“It’s been very difficult for his family and his friends were all looking for answers still," she said.
Shiloh was attending a house party in Commerce City back in March when police got reports of gunfire. When officers arrived at the home they found two male victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Investigators say Shiloh was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Police still have not made any arrests.
“Somebody knows something. Shiloh was killed in a party in front of a lot of people and so somebody knows who killed him," said Hoch. "Somebody witnessed the murder and hopefully has some information that can be used to get a conviction. Not having him here I think has been the hardest part."
Family and friends of Shiloh hope that justice can bring peace.
“We know it’s important not only for our family but for everybody in the state of Colorado that Shiloh’s killer is brought to justice.”
Hoch told FOX31 that Shiloh also had a baby girl named Amora in August. He never got the chance to meet her, but was excited to become a dad and have a positive influence in her life.
If you have any information give Commerce City Police a call at 303-287-2844 or the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
