AURORA | An unidentified man was shot and wounded early Wednesday outside a west-central Aurora apartment complex, police said.
Officers were called to Willowick Apartments, 10613 E. Jewell Ave. at about 6:30 a.m. after reports of a shooting.
“When officers arrived, they were unable to locate a victim, but evidence suggested that a shooting happened just outside of a specific apartment,” Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matt Longshore said in a statement. “Moments later, the victim arrived at a local hospital with gunshot wounds.”
The man suffered “serious injuries” and is still hospitalized.
“Detectives have responded to the scene and are actively following up on leads,” Longshore said. “We are asking anyone with information to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.”
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.
