AURORA | Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a man accused in a July shooting in northwest Aurora that left a man injured.
Investigators are looking for Douglas Andrew Read, 39, Aurora, who police say is linked to the shooting of an unidentified 39-year-old man at a northwest Aurora apartment.
Police were called to investigate reports of a shooting at about 1:15 a.m. July 31 at an apartment on the 3100 block of Peoria Street, police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.
Police said a man there had sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound during the shooting.
Aurora police Gun Violence Suppression Team investigators identified two suspects in the case.
After weeks of investigation, Anthony James Neal, 48, of Aurora, was arrested Oct. 2 by the Aurora Police Department Fugitive Apprehension and Narcotics Unit. Neal faces one count of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon and is currently being held in an Adams County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.
Read remains at large despite investigators trying to track him down, police said.
He “remains outstanding and all leads generated to date have been exhausted,” Moylan said.
Detectives are asking anyone who has information about Read to contact Aurora police through Metro Denver Crime Stoppers or by calling 911.
“Read is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached by members of the community,” Moylan said.
Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.
