Police Seek Leads in 2010 Cold Case Murder in Maine

Police say Darien Richardson and Cory Girard were shot while sleeping in Richardson's apartment on Jan. 8, 2010

Police in Portland, Maine, are seeking information to help solve a 7-year-old killing. 

Police say Darien Richardson and Cory Girard were shot while sleeping in Richardson's apartment on Jan. 8, 2010. The pair were awoken by a masked intruder who entered their room and began shooting. 

Richardson was shot in the hand and thigh while Girard was shot in the arm. Richardson died the following month from a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot that resulted from the thigh injury. 

Police say they consider Richardson's killing a murder that remains unsolved. Her family is offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. 

Girard was later sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm while being an unlawful user of controlled substances.
