Tragedy struck late Friday night as a teenage boy was left with serious injuries following a drive-by shooting at an Aurora gas station. According to KDVR, the incident occurred around 11:20 p.m. in the 3200 block of N. Peoria Street. The Aurora Police Department swiftly responded to the scene, where they found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound.
Efforts to quickly adjust the situation led to the closure of Peoria Street temporarily in the aftermath of the shooting, as detailed by 9News. The affected stretch, between Baranmor and East 33rd Avenue, was reopened once the area was cleared. Despite the ongoing police investigation, suspect information remains elusive, and authorities are calling on the public to come forward with any information that could aid in apprehending those responsible.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed due to his age, was rushed to the hospital, where he is currently battling the serious injuries sustained from the shooting. As per the same KDVR report, the Aurora Police Department has yet to release any details regarding potential suspects in the case. The silence hangs heavy, as a community waits and watches, hoping for a breakthrough.
The urgency of the situation was further underscored by the KKTV coverage, which emphasized the police's plea for assistance. "Suspect information is not available at this time," relayed the Aurora Police Department, urging anyone with insights to promptly report them to 911. The call to action cannot be overstated, as any piece of information, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could potentially turn the tide in the case.
