Last week, a teenage “person of interest” in the shooting death of another Aurora teen tragically took his own life in Denver, according to authorities.
The Aurora Police Department announced that on Christmas Day, they were informed that the 17-year-old boy, whose identity is being withheld due to his age, was found deceased in Denver from a self-inflicted injury.
Police have confirmed that there are no additional suspects in connection to the initial shooting incident.
The shooting took place in the early hours of December 21st on South Jebel Court in Aurora. Responding officers discovered a 16-year-old boy who had been shot in the driveway. Sadly, the teen succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
It remains unclear if there was any relationship between the two teenage boys involved in the tragic incident.
The identity of the Aurora shooting victim will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, while the person of interest will be identified by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
