AURORA | An unidentified man was critically injured Monday night while meeting someone in a northwest Aurora parking lot, according to Aurora police.
Officers were called to the parking lot of The Residences at First Avenue Apartments, in the 100 block of Kenton Street, at about 9:45 p.m. after reports of a shooting there.
Police encountered a man suffering life-threatening gunshot wounds and took him to a nearby hospital for treatment.
“A second man who was with the victim at the time was not injured and ran from the scene once shots were fired,” Aurora police spokesperson Matthew Wells-Longshore said in a statement. “He returned once officers arrived.”
Police said the shooting victim does not live in the complex, “but was reportedly meeting someone in the parking lot when the shooting occurred.”
No arrests have been made nor a suspect identified as police investigate the shooting.
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.
