Matthew Hire, 57, was found fatally shot inside his recreational vehicle at the Woolly Mammoth Park-N-Ride in Golden, Colorado. A Jefferson County deputy discovered Hire’s body on April 14, 2023; investigators concluded he had likely been killed weeks earlier, between March 25 and March 26. A witness reported Hire had been living in his RV at the Park-N-Ride.

Authorities identified 50-year-old Donald Leroy Harris as an acquaintance of Hire and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree murder. Investigators say Harris accompanied Hire to the bank when Hire withdrew $15,000 to buy the RV, and Harris had been the last person seen with Hire. Personal documents belonging to Harris were found inside Hire’s RV. During an unrelated arrest on March 26, Harris was reportedly in possession of Hire’s cell phone, the keys to Hire’s RV and Jeep, and Hire’s blood was found on Harris’s clothing. The murder weapon was recovered inside Hire’s Jeep; prosecutors say DNA from both men was on the weapon and they sought a $2 million bond citing the seriousness of the charge and Harris’s criminal history.

Does anyone have information about Hire’s activities at the Park-N-Ride or contacts he may have had in late March 2023?
