DENVER — Denver police are hoping a $30,000 reward will help them catch a suspect in a 2016 homicide case. 

That's what Metro Denver Crime Stoppers is offering for information about the shooting that left Scott Breitinger dead at age 45. 

Police said officers were dispatched to the alley of 3219 W. Nevada Pl. on the afternoon of April 3, 2016, on a report of shots fired. That's southwest of South Federal Boulevard and West Alameda Avenue.

When they got there, they found Breitinger near his motorcycle suffering from several gunshot wounds.

Breitinger was taken to the hospital, where he died.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or visit metrodenvercrimestoppers.com. Tipsters can remain anonymous.

Metro Denver Crime Stoppers works by assigning a code to people who anonymously submit a tip. Information is shared with law enforcement, and Crime Stoppers is notified at the conclusion of the investigation. 

From there, an awards committee reviews the information provided and, if the information leads to an arrest, the tipster will be notified. Rewards can be collected using the code numbers received when the tip was originally submitted.
