Nome Park was also the scene of a shooting in November 2021 that injured six Aurora Central High School students. They all survived the shooting.
An affidavit for that shooting says that two people had arranged to meet at the park to fight and other students had come to watch. That's when the suspect fired from a vehicle at the crowd in the park about 30 times, according to the affidavit.
A 16-year-old suspect, identified as Daniel Ruelas, was charged as an adult in relation to that shooting. Three 15-year-old suspects were also arrested.
Ruelas' next court appearance is set for July 20.
