Juvenile detained after fatal shooting at Aurora hotel

Police said they're still investigating the juvenile's role in the shooting at the Hometown Suites and said no arrests have been made.

AURORA, Colo. — A juvenile has been detained in connection with a fatal shooting early Tuesday morning at hotel in Aurora, according to an update from the Aurora Police Department (APD).

Around 5:15 a.m., officers responded to a shooting at the Homewood Suites at 3705 North Chambers Road, which is the Hometown Suites. They located an adult man inside a hotel room who had been shot. That man later died from his injuries and his death is being investigated as a homicide, according to APD.

The juvenile was located nearby and detained, but APD stopped short of calling him a suspect and said his involvement in the shooting is still under investigaiton. The agency said no one's been arrested but also noted they're not looking for any outstanding suspects.

The identity of the victim will be released by the Adams County Coroner's Office after a positive identification has been made, and his next-of-kin has been notified.
