At times, inclement weather cuts down on people murdering each other. But that wasn't the case early this morning, when police found a man suffering from gunshot wounds that soon killed him behind Sunrise Restaurant, 9115 East Colfax, an area captured in the graphic above (if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map"). The location is mere steps away from a motel where Michael Curtis was slain in September. That's how a neighborhood gets a reputation...
Witnesses saw a man fleeing the scene, but the only description -- he was wearing dark clothing -- doesn't provide a treasure trove of information. Look below for what the Aurora Police Department is sharing thus far.
