AURORA | Police said a man in northwest Aurora shot a woman to death late Friday and was arrested a short time later after a brief standoff with police.
Police were called to a home on the 2300 block of Emporia Street at about 11 p.m. after neighbors heard gunfire. Officers discovered a woman inside with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead a short time after.
Investigators quickly determined a suspect lived nearby and surrounded his house, according to police spokesman Frank Fania. There was a brief standoff with the man, but he surrendered shortly after and was arrested.
Police said the suspect and victim knew each other, but their relationship was unclear. Investigators did not identify anyone involved in the shooting and said there are no other suspects in the case.
