A second teenager was arrested in connection with a shootout with Aurora police in a King Soopers parking lot last week, authorities announced Wednesday
A 15-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday evening near 11th Avenue and North Syracuse Street in Denver, according to the Aurora Police Department.
“I know capturing the second suspect in this case was a top priority of Chief Dan Oates,” said interim Aurora police Chief Art Acevedo in a news release. “I’m proud of the diligent work of our investigators and gratified to be able to make this announcement on behalf of my good friend and colleague so early in my tenure with the Aurora Police Department.”
The unidentified 16-year-old was already in custody on active failure-to-appear warrants. He was found by officers the morning after the shooting in an open field near Aurora Central High School, according to police. Once in the parking lot, the Kia occupants opened fire at an unmarked Aurora police car, which had two officers inside, police said. The occupants of the Kia then"engaged in gunfire" with three additional unmarked police cars before crashing into a vehicle and the occupants taking off, according to former Aurora Police Interim Chief Dan Oates.
