LAKEWOOD, Colo. — The family of James "Jay" Montoya is continuing their fight for justice two years after his murder. "Our family is just not the same. It'll never be the same, and it's just unfortunate," said Jay's mother, Corinna Montoya. The 26-year-old disappeared early on April 2, 2023, after leaving The Hangar 101 Bar in Lakewood. According to his family, he had left the bar with a group he had just met that night. They grew concerned when they didn't hear from him the next day.

AURORA, Colo. — A Colorado law that simplifies the process for undocumented immigrants looking to obtain a driver's license took effect Monday.
