AURORA | Police said one person was shot and killed and a suspect arrested Thursday night near Raytheon and Community College of Aurora campuses in what police say was an altercation stemming from a workplace dispute.
Lloyd Clifford Love, 35, is facing charges in connection to the shooting.
According to a news release from the Aurora Police Department, police were called to the report of a trespass in the 16800 block of E. Centretech Parkway at around 7 p.m. While officers were en route, the call was upgraded to a report of a shooting somewhere on the property.
The address is listed as the address for Raytheon Aerospace campus in Aurora, adjacent to the campus of the Community College of Aurora.
“When officers arrived, they learned the shooting stemmed from a dispute between an employer and a former employee,” the release said. “Officers and EMS responders provided lifesaving measures, which unfortunately were unsuccessful and the victim was pronounced dead.”
The victim has been identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office as Marvin James Johnson, 52. His death was ruled a homicide.
The suspect had left the scene before officers arrived, and more officers, including SWAT and K9 units and a fugitive team, arrived to the area to search for him. A Denver Police helicopter also assisted in the search, the release said.
The suspect was arrested after SWAT members and other officers conducted a high-risk traffic stop on a car that he was a passenger in, the release said.
According to online records, Love is scheduled to be arranged in Arapahoe County District Court on Oct. 28.
The Community College of Aurora placed its CentreTech campus on lockout Thursday evening on the recommendation of APD, according to a Friday morning statement from the college.
“While we recognize the impact this may have had to the academic instruction and campus operations, the safety and wellbeing of all of CCA’s students, faculty, instructors, and staff is paramount,” the statement said.
Well like mayor Kaufman said, interim Chief oats has this all under control.
