A Marine veteran who dreamed of becoming a police officer was gunned down three years ago Wednesday while working as a security guard at an Aurora marijuana dispensary.
The case has never been solved even though authorities are offering $55,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of two suspects.
On June 18, 2016, Travis Mason was killed during a robbery attempt just before closing at the Green Heart dispensary, Aurora police have said. Mason, 24, was shot three times, and he died of a gunshot wound to the head, an autopsy report determined.
Mason had been excited about his new job at Green Heart, 19005 E. Quincy Ave., which he saw as a solid step toward his dream of becoming a police officer, according to a Denver Post article written shortly after his death.
“He wanted to give (his children) a better life,” his mother, Priscilla Dominguez, said. “He was always proud of whatever he was doing because he wanted to support his family.”
Police have released images of the suspects in the murder.
