Family remembers father, seeks answers after deadly Westminster shooting

Colorado man seeks community’s help after his father was shot and killed outside his home 02:08

One Colorado family is in mourning after a man in Westminster was gunned down just before Christmas, his killer still on the loose. Photos and memories are all Sebastian Carrera Martinez has left of his father, 48-year-old Ruben Arturo Cano.

“He was a very happy person. He was the life of the party. Everybody would always say that you would know that my dad was around because you would hear him laughing,” said Martinez.

Martinez says his father was a family man who’d do anything for his three kids and Martinez’s stepmom.

“My father was a good man. Me and him had a father and son business in construction,” said Martinez. “I just hope that they can find the person who did this.

His father had only been living in his Westminster residence near Orchard Town Center for around two months with some of his other family members when tragedy literally struck them at their door.

“They had Christmas ornaments on the front door so that he couldn’t see out the hole, and as soon as he opened the door, [someone] opened fire,” Martinez.
