CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The Laramie County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with relevant information regarding the recent assault of a Cheyenne homeless man to come forward.
A homicide investigation was launched on Aug. 20 in which Wyoming State Park Rangers were dispatched to Curt Gowdy State Park for an unresponsive man. The man, later identified as Jason Mullen, was transported to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Swedish Medical Center in Colorado due to life-threatening injuries, according to a press release by the LCSO.
Mullen died from his injuries at the Swedish Medical Center on Aug. 27. He was known to be homeless and frequent downtown Cheyenne. Jason is Mullen’s alias name and his true identity is Stacey Mullen, age 50.
Park rangers turned the investigation over to the LCSO in the afternoon of Aug. 20. The investigation revealed Mullen had been badly beaten. It is believed he had been assaulted at an unknown location and left at Curt Gowdy late Saturday night, Aug. 19.
New developments in the investigation include the recovery of pictures of Mullen taken on the day he was brutally attacked, according to a press release.
The images below, with Mullen featured on the right side in both, showcase him wearing an outfit consisting of a black jacket, black pants and black shoes. In the third picture he is walking downtown by himself.
The timeline for potential witnesses and sources of evidence spans from Aug. 19 at 4:03 p.m. to Aug. 20 at 7:56 a.m. If residents were in the vicinity during this period or possess surveillance footage from this time frame, their assistance could be vital to the investigation, the release states.
