Aurora police say they’re still searching for one or more shooters who opened fire on a crowd outside of a Colfax Avenue nightclub in August 2024, killing one person and wounding another.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting at the club in the 11200 block of East Colfax early in the morning of Aug. 11, police wrote in a social media post.
When they arrived, they found a man — later identified as Rafael Rivera-Velez, 25 — who had been shot multiple times and died at the scene. A second person was shot and survived.
Witnesses told police the gunshots came from a blue sedan that drove into the parking lot, near where a group of people was standing.
“Investigators believe the crowd was randomly targeted by the suspect or suspects,” police wrote. “There is no suspect description and no additional information about the suspect vehicle. All investigative leads developed to date have been exhausted.”
Officers encourage anyone with information about the incident to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or online and qualify for a reward of up to $2,000.
