Police Offer Reward for Information on Shooting near High School
Aurora, Colo. – A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by Aurora Police for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for shooting a high school student on Monday that left her seriously injured.
On December 6, 2010, at about 2:30 p.m. officers responded to the area of 11th Avenue and Newark Street near Central High School on a report of a shooting. Officers arrived and quickly determined that the gunshot victim had been driven to a nearby hospital by friends or possibly acquaintances. The school was placed on lockdown while officers searched the area for the individuals involved in the shooting.
Officers responded to the hospital, secured the outdoor crime scene, contacted witnesses, and requested assistance from investigators.
Major Crimes Unit (MCU) detectives and personnel with the Crime Scene Investigation Unit (CSI) responded to the scene of the shooting and the hospital.
Initial reports led investigators to believe that a black or dark primer gray sedan was used by the shooter as a getaway car. During the course of ensuing investigation, detectives have obtained new information about this car. The description of the getaway vehicle has been updated to a 90’s model black Infinity sedan. Detectives are still attempting to identify the license plate associated with this vehicle.
Detectives believe that the shooting victim wasn’t directly involved in any type of altercation or fight prior to the shooting.
The female victim’s name is not being released.
Emergency calls recorded by dispatch in regards to this incident are not being released.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact MCU Detective Gretchen Fronapfel at (303)739-6013.
