Aurora Police Seeking Suspects in Cedar Street Shooting

The following was provided by the Aurora Police Department. 

Just before 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aurora Police responded to the 300 block of Cedar Street for a call of shots fired. Shortly after their arrival, a call was received from an Aurora hospital indicating a 20-year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound was being treated.

The initial investigation indicates that there was some type of interaction between at least two males who were on foot and at least 2 men inside of a blue SUV when shots were fired by one of the men who was on foot. One of the shots struck the 20 year old who was inside the SUV in the shoulder, resulting in a non-life threatening injury.

After the shots were fired, the subjects on foot, described only as male blacks, fled northbound through the yards on Cedar. The vehicle fled westbound on Cedar.

Police are questioning one other man who was in the SUV that dropped the victim off at the hospital. The men on foot have not been located.

No one else was apparently hit. A definite motive has not been established but it does not appear to be a random crime.

Anyone with information is asked to call Aurora Police investigators at 630-256-5500 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000. Callers to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and qualify for a cash reward of up to $5000 for information that leads to any arrests.
