Aurora police have arrested a teenage boy and are searching for a second man suspected in the shooting of two men after an argument last night.
Police are seeking Eduardo Esparza-Galena, 24, in connection with the shooting behind a King Soopers store in the 100 block of Del Mar Circle in Aurora.
Aurora police officers went to the location about 9 p.m. and found two wounded men, both in their 20s. They were taken to a local hospital and are recovering from their injuries.
Esparza-Galena is 5 foot, 10 inches tall, 200 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. He is also wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for felony eluding.
Police say Esparza-Galena and the juvenile left the scene in a blue 1989, two-door Lincoln sedan with the Colorado license plate 883MMM.
“There could have been more people in that vehicle,” said Aurora police spokesman Robert Friel.
Police arrested the juvenile several hours later.
Investigators are not releasing photos of the two suspects so that photo lineups can be shown to potential witnesses.
The investigation is continuing and police are asking the publics’ help in locating the vehicle.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Aurora police at 303-739-6118. Anyone with information about Esparza-Galena’s whereabouts may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 from the Aurora Police Department Reward Fund.
