DENVER — It’s been more than a year since a cyclist was hit and killed in Denver’s East Colfax neighborhood. His family is still working to find answers and bring the driver to justice.

Steve Perkins, 52, died after a driver ran a red light and struck him at the intersection of E. 13th Avenue and Syracuse Street on August 10, 2022. The driver still has not been found.

“There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for somebody that was in need. He was a great father. He was a husband for 23 years,” said Steve’s twin brother, Dan.

Denver father of two killed in hit-and-run crash at problem intersection

Dan said he and Steve had gone on a bike ride that morning at Cherry Creek State Park. He hadn’t heard from his brother since they parted ways after their bike ride. A couple of hours later, he got a call from his brother’s wife asking him to go to the emergency room, where found out there had been a fatal accident.

“He was in the bike lane. He was doing exactly what he was supposed to do, riding exactly the way he was supposed to ride. And that was it,” said Dan. “The guy didn’t stop.”

Steve left behind a wife and twin boys.

“I try not to think about it because it gets you upset if you think about it too much,” added Dan. “They have to go around knowing that the person who killed their dad and their husband is still out there. And that’s tough.”
