On Sunday August 4th, 2019 at approximately 7:08 am, Aurora Police Officers were dispatched to a local freestanding Emergency Room on the report of a juvenile with serious injuries under suspicious circumstances. The initial investigation determined that the juvenile was either riding on or hanging out of a vehicle driven by an older juvenile. The vehicle came to an abrupt stop and the younger juvenile came off the vehicle. The incident occurred on Marguerite Parkway in the Mission Viejo neighborhood.
The juvenile victim was later transferred to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation. Unfortunately, the victim died as a result of his injuries the following day, August 5th. The identities of the juveniles involved are not being released at this time.
The incident is still being investigated by the Aurora Police Department Traffic Section. This marks the 15th traffic related fatality for Aurora in 2019.
