AURORA | A man selling clothing Friday night outside his home in central Aurora was shot and injured by the people he was trying to sell it to, police said.
Officials at a local hospital called police at about 10:45 p.m. to report that a man had come to the emergency room suffering a gunshot wound, Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.
The man told officers that he met three men at their car outside his home in the 1100 block of South Sable Boulevard to sell them the clothing items.
“During the meeting, there was a struggle for the clothing, and the victim sustained a nonfatal gunshot wound,” Moylan said. “The victim was transported to the hospital by family.”
Police said all three of the men in the car had guns, and that the shooting victim did not know them.
No other details about the gunmen were available, police said, nor were there details about the gunmen’s car.
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.
