Police seek information in murder of man in Barnum West neighborhood

The Denver Police Department is asking the public for help as it investigates the murder of a man in the Barnum West neighborhood.

Denver resident Jacob Brady was found dead just after 1 p.m. Friday in a home in the 4500 block of West Second Avenue, near Newlon Elementary School, police said.

Police initially opened a general death investigation but upgraded it to a homicide investigation hours later because of suspicious circumstances in Brady’s death.
