A 19-year-old Aurora man was arrested Saturday evening in a Friday hit-and-run crash that killed a teenager, police said.
Daveon Javon-James Jackson was arrested shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, careless driving resulting in death, hit-and-run and failing to report a crash, Aurora Police Department spokesperson Joe Moylan said in an email to The Denver Post.
Aurora officers responded to the hit-and-run crash at 11:18 p.m. Friday near East Wesley Drive and South Dunkirk Street.
When officers arrived, they found a 16-year-old with serious injuries, police said. The teen had been riding a scooter in the bike lane when he was hit.
Paramedics took the unidentified 16-year-old to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Numerous tips from the community helped officers identify the suspect vehicle — a blue 2014 Dodge Charger, Moylan said. From there, traffic and patrol officers were able to trace the car back to Jackson.
Jackson has not yet been charged, and no court date was available Sunday morning.
