Aurora Police Department officers responded to a shooting in the 1800 block of South Fairplay Street at 6:34 p.m. when someone called 911 after a man in his 30s shot his brother, a man in his late 20s, during an argument.

Investigators said the younger brother had armed himself with a knife when he was shot by his older brother, Aurora police said in a news release. Officers detained the older brother at the scene. His name was not immediately available Tuesday night.

Police are still investigating the shooting, agency officials said.

This is a developing story.

Philip Lawrence Sullivan, 37, pleaded guilty on Feb. 23 to prohibited use of a weapon and third-degree assault, both class one misdemeanors, Adams County court records show. The case was marked “proven” in court records for domestic violence.

The plea deal dismissed six other misdemeanor charges from Sullivan’s case, including obstructing law enforcement, resisting arrest, harassment and child abuse.

Sullivan was fired in December from the Aurora Police Department after he was arrested in the domestic violence incident at his Westminster home. The man had been hired as a patrolman in January 2025.

Westminster officers responded to the incident at Sullivan’s home in the 9000 block of Osceola Street just before 7 p.m. on Nov. 26, 2025. Sullivan’s wife told police that he had shoved her and thrown things at her, sparking a fight that ended with him arming himself while she hid with her three children, according to the arrest affidavit.

The wife and children escaped the home when officers arrived, but it took roughly 3 hours of negotiations for Sullivan to surrender to police.

Sullivan was granted a 2-year deferred sentence on each of the charges he pleaded guilty to, court records show. If he meets the conditions of his sentence, the charges will be removed from his record.

Olvin Carcamo-Meza, 19, pleaded guilty during a Tuesday afternoon disposition hearing to two counts of first-degree assault, a felony, and two violent crime sentence enhancers, according to Arapahoe County court records.

The plea deal dismissed three felony charges from Carcamo-Meza’s case, including one count of child abuse causing death and two counts of vehicular homicide by reckless driving, court records show. It also dropped one count of reckless driving, a traffic-level offense.

Carcamo-Meza was driving at an average of 121 mph on Airport Boulevard shortly before he ran a red light and crashed into a white Hyundai sedan at East Alameda Parkway, killing both people inside, according to his arrest affidavit. The July 2025 crash sent both cars spinning into a third vehicle, injuring that driver and Carcamo-Meza’s passenger, .

The 19-year-old will next appear in court for a sentencing hearing on June 1, court records show. The plea deal vacated a jury trial set to start in late July.

Each assault charge carries a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of 32 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections, 18th Judicial District Attorney spokesperson Eric Ross said.

As part of the plea deal, the District Attorney’s Office is asking for a sentence of 15 to 20 years for each count Carcamo-Meza pleaded guilty to — a total of 30 to 40 years in prison followed by mandatory parole, Ross said.

Aurora officers and firefighters responded to a crash near the intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Espana Way at 8:43 p.m. Monday, according to a news release from the police department.

Several callers told dispatchers that a motorcycle and a vehicle collided, throwing the motorcyclist from the bike and into the roadway, police said. The motorcyclist, a man, died at the scene of the crash and will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

The other driver is cooperating with the investigation, according to the release. Police did not specify whether drugs, alcohol or speed are suspected to be factors in the crash and whether any charges are under investigation.

Westbound Havana was closed overnight between South Genoa and South Ceylon streets for the crash investigation.

Aurora officers responded to the crash in the 1100 block of North Jamaica Street at 8:57 a.m. Friday, police spokesperson Gabby Easterwood said. When officers arrived, they found that a car had hit the home and the driver had fled the scene. Easterwood said the teen left the scene on foot.

Paramedics took a woman inside the home to the hospital with serious injuries, Easterwood said. A second woman inside the home at the time of the crash was not injured.

Officers later arrested an unidentified 13-year-old on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury and careless driving, Easterwood said.

It’s unknown why the 13-year-old was driving.

Aurora police responded to the complex in the 14000 block of East Stanford Circle at 3:30 p.m. after receiving a call from Aurora Mental Health about a man experiencing a mental health crisis, Chief Todd Chamberlain said in a briefing Thursday evening.

A mental health clinician responded to the scene alongside police and talked with the man by phone. The man was threatening to kill himself and others and wanted to kill or be killed by police officers, Chamberlain said.

The man refused to continue talking with the crisis response team after about 25 minutes. When the clinician tried to talk to him through a window, the man was seen holding a large butcher knife to his neck.

A group of officers was staged nearby when the man suddenly burst out of the apartment, charged one of the officers and repeatedly stabbed him in the head with the butcher knife, Chamberlain said.

The stabbing was so forceful that the tip of the knife broke off inside the officer’s head, Chamberlain said, but the officer was able to fire his gun and shoot the man during the attack.

Other officers on scene tried to use less-lethal force, including a Taser, to stop the man as the stabbing unfolded in a matter of seconds, the chief said.

Paramedics took the officer to a hospital, where he was in surgery Thursday evening. The knife-wielding man was taken to a hospital by ambulance and pronounced dead.

The man killed will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

The injured officer joined the Aurora Police Department in 2002, according to a news release from the department. He is also a canine handler and has been assigned to the department’s police dog unit since 2012. His dog sustained minor injuries in the Thursday incident but is expected to recover.

“I thank God that our officer is not dead,” Chamberlain said. “I thank God that our officer is in surgery, and I’m so thankful that he survived this.”

The man had a history of mental health issues, including suicidal ideation, and it appears police had responded to that address at least one time before Thursday, Chamberlain said.

“The Aurora Police Department, our patrol assets, our clinicians and our crisis response team did everything we could possibly do to resolve this without the incredibly tragic conclusion,” Chamberlain said.

The 18th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team is leading the investigation into the police shooting. The Aurora Police Department will also conduct an administrative review of the incident.

Shots were fired at a house party in the 16000 block of East Bails Place just after midnight on July 20, the Sunday-morning tail end of a Saturday-night party, . When officers arrived, they found “a large scene in the street” with multiple spent shell casings, police said.

Less than an hour later, Aurora officers responded to reports of a boy who had been shot roughly a half mile away from the house party. Paramedics took the victim, , to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

Investigators believe Cayden was shot at the house party and dropped off near the intersection of East Oregon and East Mexico drives by a white Ford F-150 pickup truck, police said. The unidentified truck driver also dropped off a juvenile girl who was seeking help for Cayden.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or online at . Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
