Update: Wheelchair Bound Man Killed in Aurora Shooting Identified

Aurora Police responded on Monday evening to a report of two gunshot victims near State and Spring Streets, according to a department press release. At 5:18 p.m., police found two men from suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both men were from Aurora. William Radillo, a 24-year-old from the 800 block of Fifth Street, had been shot multiple times. He was transported to a hospital in Aurora, where he was pronounced dead at 5:51 p.m. The other man, a 33-year-old, was brought to a different Aurora hospital where he is being treated for a gunshot wound that is not life-threatening.

Police later determined that "the two men were near a building on the northwest corner of State and Spring when they were approached by two males dressed in all dark clothing."

At least one suspect fired at the victims before both suspects fled the scene. They left in a SUV that had been waiting in an alley east of the shooting. The SUV then drove away to the east.

Police have not ruled out the possibility that this is a gang related shooting, but they say it does not appear to be related to the homicide that occurred on New Year’s Eve.
