AURORA | Three separate shootings over the weekend included a Sunday night gunfire injury that left an unidentified 18-year-old man dead after his friend rushed him to a nearby hospital, police said.
Police were called to the 13000 block of East 33rd Place Sunday at about 9:30 p.m. to investigate a shooting. There, a witness told police the victim’s friend drove the person to the hospital with a gunshot wound.
“A short time later, officers were notified about an adult male brought into the hospital and suffering from a gunshot wound,” Aurora Police Officer Francisco Saucedo said in a statement. The man later died.
No other details in that shooting were released. Police are asking for information in the case.
Early Monday, another shooting in Aurora resulted in a police tweet but little information.
Police said at about 1:30 a.m. Monday that they were investigating a shooting in the 18000 block of East Colfax Avenue, and that one shooting victim was rushed to a hospital “condition unknown.”
Police said that shooting drew a large police presence, but no other details were available.
The weekend began with reports of a shooting Friday afternoon in the parking lot of Dillards in the Town Center of Aurora mall.
No victims were located after reports of gunfire at about 4 p.m. but police closed the parking lot and retrieved numerous shell casings in the area. “All parties involved in the shooting left the scene, prior to officers arrival,” police said.
