An arrest has been made in connection with a fatal shooting in Aurora, Colorado. The incident, which occurred on a Friday, involved individuals who were familiar with each other.
Laneidra Williams-Whitehead, 45, and Jamir Williams, 24, were taken into custody on Saturday night. They are facing charges of first-degree murder, which will be prosecuted by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Aurora police reported that at approximately 10:15 p.m. on Friday, a resident in the 17100 block of E Adriatic Drive alerted authorities after hearing a disturbance coming from the apartment above theirs. Upon investigation, a man was found with gunshot wounds.
The victim died at a hospital and will later be identified by the coroner’s office.
“The preliminary investigation determined that the victim and Laneidra were in an active relationship and had been involved in a domestic dispute earlier that evening. Later that night, Laneidra’s son, Jamir Williams, arrived at the location and confronted the victim. During the confrontation, Jamir produced a handgun and shot the victim,” said Aurora police in a news release.
Police said the investigation remained open and urge anyone with additional details to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).
