AURORA | Police arrested a man they say shot another man during some kind of dispute in front of a northwest Aurora apartment Sunday night, even after the suspect fled the scene.
Police were called to apartments at 1457 Kenton St. at about 10:30 p.m. after reports of a shooting there.
“They found one adult male suffering from a gunshot wound,” Aurora police spokesperson Sydney Edwards said in a statement. “He was transported to the hospital with serious injuries and is expected to recover.”
A preliminary investigation revealed that 62-year-old Earmon Wildy and another, unidentified man were involved in some kind of altercation outside the apartments.
“It escalated and the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim,” Edwards said. Wildy allegedly fled the scene, but was identified and found nearby by police and taken into custody.
The nature of the dispute nor pending charges and jail bond were not immediately available.
