(October 26) An Aurora woman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of killing another woman earlier this week in the Mission Viejo neighborhood.
Tamara Minh Le, 31, faces one charge of first-degree murder stemming from Sunday’s fatal shooting in the 4100 block of South Mobile Circle in Aurora. Le is being held without bond in the Arapahoe County Detention Center pending her first appearance in court.
Le and her vehicle were identified earlier this week by the Aurora Police Department’s Major Crimes Homicide Unit. She was arrested Tuesday morning without incident by members of the fugitive and SWAT teams.
The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the deceased victim once she is positively identified and next of kin has been notified.
The investigation into this incident is still ongoing. We are asking anyone with any information about this case to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720.913.STOP (7867). Tipsters could be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 and may remain anonymous.
