A woman who was strangled and then run over by her assailant in Aurora has died and police have arrested a suspect in the case.
At about 4:30 a.m. on March 4, officers responded to reports of an injured woman in a parking lot near East 11th Avenue and Peoria Street, police said in a news release. The victim, who had suffered serious injuries, was taken to a local hospital.
The woman told investigators she had met a man who drove her to the location and strangled her into unconsciousness, according to the release. The assailant pushed the victim out of a vehicle and ran her over. The victim, who was down in the parking lot for about more than two hours before being found, died from her injuries on April 19.
