A security guard who was gunned down Saturday night at a marijuana dispensary in Aurora was a father of three and had worked at the dispensary for just two weeks...

Mason had just finished his time serving with the U.S. Marine Corps. He moved to Colorado in February with his wife and children...

His wife, Samantha Mason, said one of the last texts she got from her husband was that there was a man bothering him and that he would tell her about it when he got home.

Cameras are everywhere in a pot shop, from the parking lot to the front door to the warehouses where the plant is packaged.

But the elaborate security requirements in states that allow medical or recreational pot stores have one thing in common: They were written to keep weed off the black market, not to protect the people handling the drug.

A fatal attack on a security guard at a suburban Denver dispensary last week has the industry wondering whether state security requirements are enough. Some industry analysts have compared a marijuana shop to a jewelry store full of untraceable diamonds, often uninsured and protected by people making not much more than minimum wage.

It's a recipe for danger.
 
"A Marine veteran who dreamed of becoming a police officer was gunned down three years ago Wednesday while working as a security guard at an Aurora marijuana dispensary.

The case has never been solved even though authorities are offering $55,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of two suspects."

Reward up to $55,000 offered in Marine cold case from 2016
“This is definitely a frustrating case for everyone involved,” said Sarah Johnston, who sits on the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers board. “We have surveillance as we’ve posted on our Facebook page of the two suspects. So far, no one has been able to identify them and things might stick out to people that they may not realize. Take a close look, we encourage everyone look at their shoes, look at their clothing, look at what you can see of their faces because someone has to know.”

Metro Denver Crime Stoppers is offering up to $55,000 for information leading to an arrest in Mason’s murder.

Anyone with information can leave an anonymous tip to the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers tip line at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous.''
 
JUNE 27, 2016 WESTWORD
Wife of Travis Mason, Slain Pot Shop Guard, Prepares to Say Goodbye

The Aurora Police Department's version of the events goes like this: At approximately 9:44 p.m. on the 18th, officers were called to Green Heart on a report of a robbery with shots fired. Upon their arrival, they found Travis. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead after being transported to an area hospital.

A Green Heart representative declined to comment about the case for Westword beyond expressing condolences to the Mason family. However, a knowledgeable source tells us that the crime should more properly be dubbed a robbery attempt, since nothing was taken. After shooting Travis, the perpetrators — Aurora police describe them as two African-American men armed with handguns — fled without either money or dispensary products.

Some of these do a decent enough job to represent what they might have been wearing that night or regularly basis. Also the Color blue, Aurora Colorado have a crip set?

Murder of Marine remains unsolved 2 years later | 9news.com

''Aurora police released photos of the suspects taken from surveillance video, but they were disguised and can't easily be identified. Investigators hope their clothing might be the key.

One suspect was wearing a dark-colored full-zip hooded sweatshirt, red white horizontal striped shirt, blue jeans, gray shoes with white stripes and blue shoelaces.

The second was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and maroon Converse sneakers.''
