DENVER (KDVR) — Nearly seven months after an 18-year-old was shot and killed at a Commerce City house party, his friends and family still look for closure in his murder.
“He was a playful kid. Fun, loveable, like any kid,” said Jeanna Hoch, a family friend of Shiloh Bennett’s.
Hoch had known Bennett since he was around nine or 10. A good kid, she says, with dreams of making music.
“He had a studio in his house and that was just his passion,” said Hoch.

Unfortunately, those dreams were taken away in March when he was killed at a house party. It’s a day Hoch remembers sadly.
“Saying no, no, no, over and over,” said Hoch.
More than half a year later, Commerce City Police still have no one in custody for the murder and Bennett’s friends and family have been unable to move forward.
“There hasn’t been a moment of peace as far as dealing with Shiloh’s passing,” said Hoch.
Hoch is trying to make the most of it. She said she has talked with state legislators, hoping to put a law in place that would hold house party hosts more responsible for guest safety.
