UPDATE: Arrest Made: Aurora Police Major Crime Unit Investigating 17th Avenue Fatal Shooting
(Dec. 15, 2025) – The Aurora Police Department Major Crime Homicide Unit announced it has made an arrest in its investigation into a homicide that occurred last month in northwest Aurora.
On Friday, members of the Aurora police Fugitive Apprehension and Narcotics Unit arrested a 17-year-old Aurora male on charges of first-degree murder after deliberation and unlawful possession of a handgun by a juvenile.

The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The man has since been identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office as 22-year-old Aurora resident Jibreel Nile.
