(Aug. 8, 2023) – The Aurora Police Department Major Crime Homicide Unit is investigating a homicide after a body was found Monday in Denver.
Denver police officers initially responded Monday morning to a report of a body found in the 1400 block of Olive Street. Denver investigators determined from evidence collected at the scene the victim had been taken to Olive Street in a van and disposed of in a dumpster. Investigators located the van a short distance from the scene.
Detectives with the Major Crime Homicide Unit took over the investigation Monday afternoon after witnesses told Denver investigators the victim was killed during a shooting Saturday night in the 1100 block of Geneva Street in Aurora’s Del Mar Parkway neighborhood. The shooting wasn’t reported to 911.
The victim will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office.
This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720.913.STOP (7867).
