We know two major facts at this point.
First, a man in that area was found partially stuck under a car.
Second, the investigation into his subsequent death is being shared by traffic investigators and homicide detectives.
Just shy of 11 p.m. last night, Aurora PD public-information officer Detective Shannon Lucy alerted the media to a "possible homicide." She followed around 1 a.m. with a release that mentioned a "suspicious death" and a few bare details that raise the possibility that the man in question was purposefully crushed by a car.
Look below to see an interactive graphic featuring the 1900 block of North Ensenada Court, where the incident took place (if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map"), as well as the latest APD release:
