Police investigating after man was shot to death in Aurora Saturday morning

Aurora police are investigating an early Saturday morning shooting that left a man dead.

According to a press release, police responded to a call for a person with a weapon on the 400 block of Weston Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. on April 12.

When officers arrived they found a 35-year-old man with two gunshot wounds. The man was taken to Prime Healthcare Mercy Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead at 7:47 a.m.
