2 men who were shot and dumped in Aurora identified

Kejuan Mays and Omar Williams' bodies were found in the area of East 22nd Avenue and Galena Street Saturday morning.

AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Police are investigating a deadly shooting that killed two men Saturday.

Police said firefighters initially responded near the intersection of East 22nd Avenue and Galena Street for a report of an unresponsive person lying on the ground and found the victim dead.

That's a few blocks northwest of the UCHealth Anschutz campus.

Officers responded around 6:55 a.m. and located a second victim a short distance away who was also dead when they arrived.

The victims, 25-year-old Omar Williams and 27-year-old Kejuan Mays, both had multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators believe both victims were shot overnight at another location before being dumped in the alley between Fulton and Galena streets. Police don't think anyone reported the shots being fired.

Police said evidence suggests the victims and suspects knew each other, and do not believe there is a threat to the public. There are no suspects.
