AURORA | Police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man suspected in a fatal shooting in the front yard of a Del Mar Park home Oct. 24, police said.
Investigators are searching for Diego Jimenez, 26, who they say shot and killed an unidentified man in front of a house near East Sixth Avenue and Del Mar Circle.
“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 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 said 41-year-old Sheena Fuentes faces accessory charges linked to her actions after the shooting. Police did not provide details on what those actions entailed.
Jimenez now faces charges of second-degree murder in the case, and police are asking that anyone without information about his whereabouts 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.
