On November 10, 2021 at approximately 3:29p.m. Aurora Police responded to a report of a carjacking at the Florida Station Apartments located at 14082 East Iowa Drive. While officers were responding to the call they learned that someone had been shot. Upon arrival officers located an adult male in the parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.
The initial investigation reveals that the victim was in the parking lot when he was approached by a male subject. The male produced a gun and shot the victim. He stole the victim's vehicle and fled the scene. It is believed that the suspect then committed two home invasion robberies and several carjackings in Aurora and Northeast Denver. He is also suspected of causing two injury crashes one in Denver and the second on East 56th Avenue in the area of E470 in Aurora. The final crash is where the suspect was apprehended by the Denver Police Department at around 5:00p.m.
The suspect was taken into custody by Aurora Police and was transported to a local hospital where he is being treated for injuries he sustained as a result of the crashes he was involved in.
The Major Crimes Homicide Unit is handling the investigation into this case. It remains an open and active investigation with multiple crime scenes. Since this investigation is still in it's early stages no additional details or information on the suspect is expected to be released this evening. The identity of the homicide victim will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office once he has been positively identified and his next of kin have been notified.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Aurora Police.
