#APDNews About 8:40 p.m. last Tuesday, Nov. 26, Gang Intervention Unit officers were on patrol in the 800 block of South Havana Street when they observed a verbal argument between two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun. After the altercation, the armed man entered a white Jeep with an expired temporary registration and left the scene with two other men and a woman. Officers followed the Jeep and performed a traffic stop a short distance from the scene of the argument. During the preliminary investigation, officers determined all three men had active felony warrants for their arrest and were taken into custody. The woman, who was driving, also was detained and later released at the scene after being cleared through state and national criminal databases. Officers searched the Jeep and located three firearms, including .40- and .45-caliber handguns with extended magazines and a 9mm handgun with a 50-round drum magazine. To date, investigators have confirmed one of the firearms was stolen. All three men were taken to the Aurora Municipal Detention Center and booked on the following charges: Isaiah Lamond Hughes, 22, of Denver, was booked into jail on two active felony warrants out of Denver for attempted second-degree strangulation and second-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft. He also was arrested on charges related to the traffic stop, including possession of a weapon by a previous offender, a felony, and possession of a prohibited large capacity magazine and unlawful possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanors.

Below are the details about that active and ongoing investigation. Aurora Police Officers Exchange Gunfire with Armed Suspect, Injuring Him #APDNews (November 29, 2024) – Aurora police officers were involved in a shooting after responding to reports of shots fired that occurred at an apartment complex in central Aurora. At about 9:25 p.m., Thursday, November 28, 2024, Aurora patrol officers were dispatched to the 900 block of South Dawson Way after multiple callers reported hearing sounds of gunfire. Officers contacted multiple people inside of an apartment complex who reported that a man was firing shots in the parking lot. Around 9:50 p.m., officers were checking the area when they located a man near S. Sable Blvd and E. Kentucky Dr., matching the description given by witnesses, holding a gun. After giving this man multiple commands to drop the weapon, the suspect instead fired numerous rounds at the officers. Multiple officers returned fire, striking the suspect. No Aurora Police officers were injured. A handgun was recovered at the scene. Medical personnel arrived at the scene and transported the suspect, an adult male, to the hospital with serious injuries. He is expected to survive, and charges are currently pending. His identity is not being released at this time. Six Aurora police officers were involved in Thursday's officer-involved shooting. They have been placed on paid administrative leave in accordance with agency policy. As part of standard protocol, the following investigations are running concurrently: The Aurora Police Department Major Crime Homicide Unit is investigating the initial call for service, including the shots fired in the parking lot. The 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is conducting an independent investigation of the officer-involved shooting to determine whether the officers' actions complied with state law.

Any loss of life is a tragedy for an individual's family, our community, and the officers involved, no matter the circumstances. We understand you may have other questions. We will share any additional findings once the following investigations are complete: • The 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is conducting an independent investigation of the officer-involved shooting to determine whether the officers' actions complied with state law. • Concurrently, the Aurora Police Department's Internal Investigations Bureau is conducting an administrative investigation of the entire incident, assessing compliance with agency policies and training. https://youtu.be/VAGSM7gvMys Previously released information: https://www.auroragov.org/cms/One.aspx?p... - YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. youtube.com

During 2024, 21 officers from throughout the department have volunteered to work this detail. Year to date they have worked a total of 753 hours contacting 1,491 pedestrians and/or vehicles. The Motorcycle Enforcement Team (M.E.T.) has conducted 5 operations throughout the year targeting both pedestrians and drivers in violation of traffic laws and ordinances pertaining to pedestrians.
