Denver’s Office of the Medical Examiner has released its roster of homicides for 2013 through June, which tops out at 22. And while this rate is pretty similar to those from past years (there were forty Denver homicides in 2012), the violence that ended the lives of people like Nathan Leon, seen here, is anything but good news.
