AURORA, Colo. — Aurora police shot and killed an 18-year-old man — identified Wednesday as Jose David Guillen Socorro — they said shot multiple rounds at officers during a standoff on the city’s west side early Sunday morning.
The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. at the Arboreta Apartment complex in the 1900 block of S. Vaughn Way, according to the Aurora Police Department. No officers were injured.
The incident began hours earlier when police were called to the complex on a report concerning an argument between multiple people, all who lived in the same apartment, including Socorro, who was armed with a handgun.
A 911 caller told police that Socorro assaulted his mother and threatened a roommate with the firearm before returning inside the apartment building with the female victim, police said in a news release.
“Our officers received a radio call for help from a person, actually two individuals, who called our police department and Aurora 911, and said that there was an individual who was armed inside of an apartment building, and this individual had beaten his mother profusely,” said Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain during a press conference Monday.
