Aurora police released photos of the suspects taken from surveillance video, but they were disguised and can't easily be identified. Investigators hope their clothing might be the key.

One suspect was wearing a dark-colored full-zip hooded sweatshirt, red white horizontal striped shirt, blue jeans, gray shoes with white stripes and blue shoelaces.

The second was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and maroon Converse sneakers.

PHotos of the suspects wanted in connection with the killing of Travis Mason.

Last weekend, Mason's biological mom, Priscilla Dominguez, spent her birthday at the dispensary handing out flyers hoping that someone will come forward with information.

"These two guys came here right before closing, and they murdered him," Priscilla Dominguez told 9NEWS. "They took him away from us."

Mason was raised from childhood by Rudy & Rose Dominguez, who officially adopted him in 1999.

“He was a really good person. I raised a good man. We're really proud of him," Rose Dominguez said. "We put him [in] our hearts, and that’s where he’ll remain."

Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to call the Aurora Police Major Crimes/Homicide Unit at 303-739-6067, or to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP.

In addition to the Crime Stoppers reward of up to $2,000, this case also has a special reward totaling $55,000. Don Hicks, owner of Shortline Subaru in Aurora, and several other dealerships across the metro area, contributed $32,000 toward the reward fund.
