AURORA | Police say a man accused of fatally shooting a woman at a northwest Aurora strip-mall parking lot faces first-degree murder charges.
The Arapahoe County jail shows that Stanley Daves, 59, has been charged with first-degree murder in the case and remains in jail without bail.
Officers were called to 630 block of Peoria Street at about 5:15 p.m. after reports of a shooting there.
Police said Daves and the woman were inside a vehicle together “when a dispute broke out and escalated into a shooting.
“When they arrived, they found the (Daves) with a weapon near him and a victim with a life-threatening gunshot wound,” Aurora police spokesperson Sydney Edwards said in a statement.
Daves “was inside a vehicle. The victim was outside of the vehicle,” Edwards said. “Officers made requests for the suspect to come out of the vehicle, and he did so without incident.”
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and later died from her injuries on Saturday, police said.
Officers arrested Daves without incident, Edwards said.
Police said it’s unclear what the relationship is between the man and the woman.
Daves is scheduled for a court hearing Monday at 9 a.m. in Arapahoe County court. The shooting victim will be identified at a later date by county coroner officials.
Stanley E. Daves who was arrested on first degree murder charges on April 4th 2025, has been acquitted on all charges in early January 2026. I think that when your paper reports on someones arrest and charges. That you should be following up with the disposition, regardless of who wins.
