Suspicious death in Aurora investigated as domestic violence homicide, arrest made Saturday night

A fatal shooting Saturday morning in the 3000 block of North Peoria Street was being investigated as a homicide and late Saturday night, Aurora police's SWAT team and other special units said they arrested a 32-year-old man, who's now facing first-degree murder charges.

According to the department, officers responded to a report of a shooting at 6:45 a.m. and found a woman who died of an apparent gunshot wound. The victim, who was not immediately identified, was already dead when police arrived, police officials said.

Officers were investigating the death throughout the day, initially calling it a "suspicious death," but honed in on a suspect, 32-year-old Jeovany Gonzalez-Acuña. He was arrested Saturday night and is being held as the investigation continues.

Gonzalez-Acuña faces charges of first-degree murder and domestic violence but has not been formally charged. Final charges will be determined by the Adams County District Attorney's Office.

The victim's name will be released by the Adams County Coroner's Office, along with the official cause of death.

APD says there is no suspect information at this time, while the investigation remains active and ongoing.

The department is encouraging anyone with additional information on the incident to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).
