News conference scheduled regarding slain deputy DA

DENVER - Police plan to talk on Wednesday about their investigation into the murder of a deputy district attorney who was gunned down in August 2008.

Sean May, an Adams County deputy district attorney, was gunned down as he walked from his car to the back door of his Denver home on Aug. 27, 2008. The murder came while Denver was hosting the Democratic National Convention.

Denver Police say they plan to update details of their investigation in hopes the public will be able to assist. The news conference was scheduled for 11 a.m.

May's wife Corin was six months pregnant with the couple's first child at the time of the murder.

Investigators are willing to pay $125,000 to anyone who can help them track down whoever killed May.

Adams County District Attorney Don Quick says May is one of only 11 prosecutors ever murdered in the U.S.

Back in August, police said the suspect was in his early-to-late 20s, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, with medium build.

At the time of the murder, investigators said the man had dark, medium-length hair and a dark-colored moustache and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a backwards, black baseball cap, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, khaki-colored knee-length cargo-style shorts and tennis shoes.

If you have any information about his case, you can give an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).
