AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora Police Department is investigating a homicide that left a 46-year-old man dead Tuesday night.
At about 9:30 p.m., officers responded to the 12600 block of East Pacific Circle in southwest Aurora to conduct a welfare check at an apartment.
When officers arrived, they found the door open and lights on inside the apartment. They entered the apartment and found a man with an apparent gunshot wound. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Aurora's Major Crime Homicide Unit and CSI responded to the scene. There is no suspect information and the investigation is ongoing, but police said "the preliminary investigation indicates the homicide was not random."
