CRIME STOPPERS: POLICE SEEK NEW CLUES IN 2002 CHUBBY'S KILLING

 

Was the April 28, 2002 shooting death of James Pappas, 27, a targeted slaying?

Denver police issued a new alert today, almost a quarter century after the cold-blooded murder in the parking lot of The Original Chubby's, a popular Mexican eatery at 1238 West 38th Avenue.

Pappas and a companion were socializing with others when one or more assailants emerged from an alley, opened fire in Pappas' direction and fled north in the alley, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's Cold Case file.

His companion was wounded.

Pappas, of Arvada, was survived by his father, Jimmy Saavedra, and mother, Betty Gabaldon-Pappas, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, according to an obituary posted on Legacy.com.
