Denver police ask for help solving fatal shooting of 60-year-old woman in her car

Denver police don’t know who shot and killed 60-year-old Kim Phok, or why the killer opened fire on Phok’s car in the first place.

Investigators are asking for the public’s help to solve the case.

The investigation began when a worker at a Safeway distribution center called 911 to report shots fired about 4:30 a.m. April 20 in the area of Colorado Boulevard and Interstate 70, Lt. Matt Clark said at a news conference Tuesday morning.

When police arrived, they found Phok injured with a gunshot wound in the driver’s seat of a white SUV on the shoulder of the westbound side of the interstate. The vehicle had been shot multiple times, Clark said.

Phok was transported to Denver Health, where she died Friday of her injuries.

Investigators say Phok left her home earlier that morning to go to work. Police have not identified a suspect or a motive in the homicide, Clark said.

Anybody with information about the shooting is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 720-913-7867. Police also asked that anybody who saw Phok’s vehicle, a white 2009 Acura MDX, in the area around the time of the shooting to call them.
