Man dies in Aurora house party shooting

An early morning shooting at an Aurora house party left one man dead Sunday, police said.

Aurora officers responded to reports of a man lying in the road near the intersection of East Oregon Drive and East Mexico Drive at about 12:56 a.m. Sunday, according to a news release from the police department. That residential area is just west of South Chambers Road.

When they arrived, officers discovered the man had been shot, according to the release.

Paramedics took the man to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. He will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators said the man was attending a party in the 16000 block of East Bails Place earlier that night, less than a mile from where he was found in the road.

Multiple shots were fired at the party, police said. The exact number was not available Monday morning.

Investigators recovered “numerous shell casings, of different calibers,” from the scene of the shooting, police stated in the release.

At least two vehicles and one house were damaged, but no other injuries were reported, police said.

As of Monday morning, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests had been made.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or submit a tip online. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
