AURORA | Police have arrested a second suspect linked to a fatal Oct. 24 shooting in northwest Aurora that left an unidentified man dead.

Diego Jimenez, 26, of Aurora, is being held at the Arapahoe County jail in lieu of $200,000 bond after his arrest.

Jimenez faces charges of second-degree murder for his part in the fatal shooting of a man the afternoon of Oct. 24 outside a home near East Sixth Avenue and Del Mar Circle.

Also facing charges as an accessory to the shooting is Sheena Fuentes, 41, according to police.

“Officers were dispatched to the area…just after 1 p.m. where they located an adult male lying in a front yard suffering from a single gunshot wound,” Aurora Police spokesperson Gabby Easterwood said in a previous statement. “He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.”

Investigators said Jimenez and the shooting victim were embroiled in some kind of altercation when Jimenez shot the man. 

Police have not provided details on what prompted them to seek accessory charges in the shooting.

On Tuesday, investigators assigned to the Aurora police Fugitive Apprehension and Narcotics Unit determined that Jimenez was in Brighton.

“The fugitive unit, with assistance from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, responded to a residence in the 10700 block of Brighton Road and arrested Jimenez without incident,” Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement. “In addition to the murder charges, Jimenez also was arrested on outstanding warrants out of Weld County for aggravated motor vehicle theft and Boulder County for theft.”
