The Aurora Police Department is conducting a homicide investigation after a man was shot and killed on the City’s far east side Monday afternoon.
Just after noon Monday, Aurora’s 911 Telecommunications Center received a call for a suspicious vehicle in the 2900 block of Worcester Lane. While officers were enroute, dispatch received additional calls for shots fired and what appeared to be two vehicles shooting at each other in the same block. Officers arrived on the scene and began investigating.
Other responding officers spotted one of the vehicles and attempted to perform a traffic stop, but the vehicle did not stop. Officers followed the vehicle to the parking lot of Copley Hospital where it came to a stop. Officers located a male adult in the backseat suffering from multiple gunshots wounds. The man was brought inside the Copley Emergency Room where medical staff attempted to perform lifesaving care. Unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead a short time later.
Detectives from the Aurora Police Department’s Bureau of Investigations responded to the scene and began investigating the specific circumstances of the incident. Evidence Technicians responded to the scene to identify and collect forensic evidence from the shooting. Officers and detectives conducted a canvass of the neighborhood to collect potential information from neighbors to assist with the investigation.
