Family urges Denver DA to drop murder charge against man accused of fatally shooting brothers on I-25

DENVER — The family of the man accused of fatally shooting two brothers in June 2023 during an alleged road rage incident is urging the Denver district attorney to drop the remaining first-degree murder charge against him.

The victims were identified as Blake Lucas, 21, and Damon Lucas, 22, by their family on June 15. They said the brothers were on their way to a job interview. Their deaths were ruled a homicide by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner on June 15.

The probable cause statement concludes by saying, in part,"The suspect also fled the scene and did not call 911 about this incident. The suspect was not injured and did not have any visible injuries." “She did drop one charge, so we believe that there is hope that she will do the right thing and drop the other one," Clifton said. “He's a father. He's a son. He's a nephew. He's a grandson. He's a provider. He's a wonderful person. A good heart.”
