Police continue to search for a suspect in a hit and run that left one man dead in Denver’s Highland neighborhood.

Nick Cordova was hit and killed while riding his moped at the intersection of North Speer Boulevard and North Grove Street on Nov. 18 around 12 a.m., according to a press release from the Denver Police Department. The other vehicle did not stop.

Cordova was traveling eastbound on North Speer Boulevard when a white 2002-2009 Chevy Trail Blazer, traveling westbound, crashed into him. The vehicle then fled the scene without helping or leaving information. Cordova died from the crash.

The vehicle was last seen traveling southbound through the North Grove/Hooker Street alley towards West 29th Avenue, according to Denver Police. The Trail Blazer will have front end damage and is missing the front bumper.

The victim was traveling home from work at Blue Pan Pizza, around half a mile away from the crash.

“I feel awful, like having a hard time focusing and keeping everything together,” Blue Pan Pizza co-owner Giles Flanagin told 9News. “Nick was a one-of-a-kind person with a very gracious and big heart, so I think what we want to try to do is try to remember the good things given the horrible circumstances, as hard as that is.”

Flanagin said Cordova was one of his longest-tenured employees and friends.

Blue Pan employees posted fliers around the area, asking people to contact Denver Police with information.

“Nick cared about the team and the restaurant, in my opinion, maybe more than himself,” Flanagin said. “He was a great friend to everyone. He was always there for everyone. I just feel so bad for my team and of course I feel so bad that my friend lost his life in that manner. It’s awful.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
