Cop killer who was originally sentenced to life without parole may now see freedom one day

DENVER, CO – In 1995, a police officer who was chasing down a then-16-year-old suspect after witnessing him trying to break into a vehicle was executed by the individual, after the suspect shot him twice in the chest and once in the head. 

The murderer was sentenced to life without parole for the cold-blooded murder. Yet now, he’s going to eventually see a parole date after the DA’s office intervened alongside the murderer’s attorney to enact a reduced sentence. 

Raymond Gone, now 42-years-old, was 16 when he murdered 28-year-old Denver Police Officer Shawn Leinen. Officer Leinen’s wife was six-months pregnant at the time when he was killed, and thus resulted in a child never knowing their father and vice versa.
