AURORA, Colo. — Police in Aurora issued an arrest warrant Monday for a suspect involved in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy at Southlands Mall earlier this month.
The shooting was reported at around 9:30 p.m. in a parking lot outside the mall where a large group of people, including teens from Smoky Hill and Grandview High Schools were celebrating homecoming, witnesses told Denver7. “They were crying. There was one girl who was hugging her dad – like I’m so scared, I just want to go home. Adults were pretty mellow, but a lot of kids were kind of just in shock,” said Jordan Dimitrie, a witness to the shooting.
Raphael was a sophomore at Vista PEAK Preparatory. His mother, Nancy Velin, told Denver7 that her son was an aspiring barber and “was a very good boy, a great helper,” Velin said.
