Two adults and one child were shot Saturday night while driving in Aurora after the suspect allegedly stole from them, according to the police department.
Two other children were also in the back seat of the car but were not injured in the shooting, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a sales meetup gone wrong, where the 18-year-old suspect took the items without paying and fled, the release stated.
The family was following the suspect, identified by police as Christopher Campos-Anguiano, in their car when his vehicle pulled up next to them and someone opened fire, striking a man, a woman and a 12-year-old girl, police said in the release.
The shooting happened just after 7:20 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Colfax Avenue.
As of Sunday morning, the woman and girl had been released from the hospital, but the man’s status was unknown, Aurora police spokesperson Matthew Longshore said. Police said he “sustained serious injuries” in the shooting.
Campos-Anguiano was arrested on suspicion of five counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to the news release.
As of Sunday, he had not officially been charged and no court date had been scheduled.
