Forty Denver homicides in 2012: See where they happened
The Denver coroner's office has released its list of homicides in Denver during 2012, and the total of forty is down from 47 in 2011. Indeed, 2011 saw forty homicides through the first three-quarters of that year, while 25 took place during the initial nine months of 2012. But that means the last three months of 2012 were its bloodiest quarter, with fifteen homicides taking place -- five of them at Fero's Bar & Grill on a single night in October.
