AURORA | Police say an argument between two men Wednesday night in northwest Aurora turned violent when one man fatally shot the other.
Officers were called at about 10 p.m. to a green-space median on the northeast corner of Beeler Street and East 17th Avenue after reports of a shooting.
“Witnesses said two men were arguing when the suspect pulled out a gun and fired several rounds at the victim,” Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matt Longshore said in a statement. “The victim, who appears to be an adult male, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.”
Police later said the man, 22, died from his injuries. The suspected shooter left the scene before police arrived.
Investigators are working to identify the gunman.
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.
