Mace has a store or 2 in Denver, and after reading this story, it should draw more customers>>>High-rise residents watch from windows as cab driver is beaten to death 6.10 p.m. ET (2311 GMT) March 29, 1998 DENVER - People watched from the safety of their high-rise apartments before dawn Sunday as four men beat a taxi driver to death and dumped his body in the trunk of the cab, investigators said. "Eye witnesses saw him being beaten and dragged by his feet and thrown in the trunk, but no one called 911,'' said Detective Virginia Lopez. "It's disgusting.'' The apartment manager said the unidentified victim may have been killed over a parking space. "We've received loud music complaints from that area. People will call the police to complain about loud music, but not to report a murder,'' Lopez said. Police were summoned to the area when the victim's friend called police from a nearby convenience store and said the two were being robbed and beaten by four men. Officers then searched near the apartments for the driver while neighbors watched from their windows, Lopez said. "They didn't tell police the body was in the trunk,'' Lopez said. Only when police went door-to-door did residents start talking - nearly an hour later, Lopez said. The man might have lived if police had found him earlier, she said. The victim often visited friends at the building and was there early Sunday while he was off duty. Several suspects and witnesses were being questioned, including a resident of the Spartan Apartments who apparently was upset that the taxi driver had parked in his space. "I think he just got mad,'' apartment manager John Contreras said. "I think they were fighting over a parking space.'' Contreras' wife said residents may have been afraid to report the crime because other tenants are involved with gang members. "They're scared of getting involved with the police because it might get them in trouble,'' said Nancy Lewis.
