Two 18-year-olds from Aurora were arrested this week in connection with a fatal road-rage shooting at a stoplight last week, police Wednesday morning.
The two, identified as Juan Carlos Rivas-Luna and Aracely Enriquez, were arrested in the 1000 block of Hanover Street on Monday following a week-long homicide investigation. Rivas-Luna faces a first-degree murder charge and Enriquez faces a charge of accessory to first-degree murder.
The shooting happened shortly before 9:53 p.m. on June 5 in Aurora’s Dayton Triangle neighborhood.
“The investigation revealed the shooting was the result of a road-rage incident,” Aurora police spokesman Joe Moylan said.
A 48-year-old Denver man – Stephen Dennis Qualls — had pulled up alongside a vehicle that was “driving erratically” and rolled down his window. He was shot in the chest, and later died at the hospital, the authorities said. Homicide investigators then launched a search for a Ford Explorer and found it with help from members of a regional police task force.
