On the night of January 2, 1956, 25-year-old Nathaniel Abrams was enjoying a night out at the Young Man's Social Club at 25 South Burns Place in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He had been there with another man. At 10:40 police received a call of a man being shot in the alley in front of the club.
Nathaniel was found lying face down in a pool of blood. He had been shot five or six times.
Witnesses stated that they could recognize his associate if they saw him again. The associate never returned to the club, and it is still unknown who this was and if they had anything to do with the murder.
Nathaniel was based at Ft. Carson at the time. He had just returned from Christmas leave. He had spent it with his wife and children in Chicago.
