19-year-old Aurora resident arrested for suspected murder in Greenwood Village shooting.

A tragic incident occurred in April near Cherry Creek High School when a young man lost his life to gun violence. The suspect, 19-year-old Jorge Trujillo, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder in connection with the death of 18-year-old Jose Angel Hernandez, who was also a resident of Aurora. The news was confirmed by the Greenwood Village Police Department, who took Trujillo into custody on Wednesday.

The incident took place at around 5 a.m. on April 27, when authorities received a distress call reporting a suspicious SUV on East Union Avenue near South Yosemite Street. Upon arrival, they found the vehicle with all doors open and the lights on, and upon further inspection, noticed bullet holes in it. An arrest affidavit revealed that Hernandez was found deceased in the driver's seat, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Although the area was close to Cherry Creek High School, the authorities clarified that the school had no involvement in the shooting. Further investigation revealed that Hernandez, Trujillo, and two others had met up the previous night to sell drugs at a Denver club. However, things took a turn for the worse when the group left the club in search of a strip club and an argument broke out between Hernandez and Trujillo. The argument was reportedly about Trujillo not returning a bag of drugs that he was supposed to sell. As the situation escalated, the group pulled over, and two others in the car tried to intervene and calm down the two young men. However, Trujillo suddenly started shooting without any warning, and while everyone else got out of the car, Hernandez remained seated, as per a witness statement.

Trujillo then fled the scene, leaving behind a trail of devastation. A nearby surveillance video captured him talking about feeling sick and admitting to the shooting. He was subsequently taken into custody and is currently being held at the Arapahoe County Detention Center on a $1 million bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of drug-related activities and the devastating consequences that can result from them.

As the community continues to mourn the loss of Hernandez, our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones. Let us all strive to create a safer and more peaceful environment for ourselves and future generations.
