On October 3rd, 27-year-old Consuelo “Connie” Chavez was found brutally murdered in Colorado. Authorities have described the circumstances as “suspicious” and say they currently have limited information. Connie was a devoted mother of three, and her sudden death has left her community devastated.
Friends and family believe they know who is responsible. According to Ring camera footage and Snapchat posts, Connie had spent time with a group of friends earlier that Thursday. Loved ones suspect that an altercation occurred later that night, escalating to violence. They believe Connie was severely beaten, then run over twice by a Jeep, and left to die on the road.
Despite what they see as compelling evidence, Connie’s family and friends are frustrated by the lack of arrests. They feel the authorities have not acted swiftly or transparently, and they are calling for accountability and justice. The police have stated that the case remains an open investigation and that more information will be released as it becomes available.
Much of what is known about the case has come from social media, where Connie’s family has taken it upon themselves to share their version of events and demand answers. Their posts have sparked widespread attention and support from the community.
On a recent evening, more than 100 people gathered at Boyd’s Crossing Park in Wheat Ridge for a purple-themed vigil in Connie’s honor. The color purple, often associated with justice and remembrance, filled the park as loved ones shared stories, lit candles, and called for action.
“She didn’t deserve what happened to her,” said Jesus Chavez, Connie’s brother, in an interview with FOX31. “She should be remembered for her acts of kindness.”
Connie’s loved ones continue to fight for answers, refusing to let her story fade into silence. Their calls for justice echo not only through Wheat Ridge, but across social media and beyond driven by love, grief, and the belief that her life mattered. As the investigation unfolds, her family remains steadfast because they will not stop until the truth is known, and justice is served.
