Authorities in Aurora are currently on the hunt for a Denver resident in connection to a shooting incident that occurred in July, resulting in the death of one person and injury of another. The man in question has been identified as 32-year-old Bryant Jay Beecher, and an arrest warrant was issued for him earlier this month. However, he has yet to be apprehended, according to a statement released by the Aurora Police Department.
Beecher is facing charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, as stated by the police. Initially, investigators believed that the two victims had shot each other, but it was later revealed that two separate suspects entered the Abrigo Apartments and opened fire on the victims around midnight on July 5. The apartment complex is situated in the 12100 block of East 30th Avenue, close to Peoria Street and Park Lane Elementary School.
Sadly, one victim, identified as 57-year-old Fred Willis from Aurora, succumbed to his injuries at the scene, while the other, a 46-year-old male whose identity remains unknown, was rushed to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. Fortunately, the second victim survived, according to the Adams County Coroner's Office.
Authorities are seeking any information on Beecher's whereabouts, and they urge anyone with relevant information to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. In related news, a tragic incident on U.S. 40 near Fraser resulted in one death and four injuries due to icy road conditions. Additionally, a social media influencer and owner of Virtika, David Lesh, is facing trial for assault charges in Summit County, while three deputies were wounded while chasing a fuel theft suspect in Moffat County.
In an effort to support victim services, Colorado has implemented a new gun tax, and a Pueblo man lost his life in a double shooting that occurred in the early hours of the morning. As for the second suspect in the shooting incident in Aurora, 53-year-old John Edwards, he was arrested in Texas in September and subsequently charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He is currently in custody in Adams County, with a bail set at $1.25 million, and his next court appearance is scheduled for January 17.
