An evening that began at a house party in southern Aurora turned deadly when a fight pushed several people to Utah Park at 1800 S. Peoria St. Around 2 a.m. on November 17, 2024, gunfire erupted in the park’s parking lot. Eighteen-year-old Ahmad Malachi Richardson and his 20-year-old best friend, Isaiah Ray Chavez Seppelt, were both fatally wounded there; an 18-year-old woman who arrived at a local hospital with a serious gunshot wound told officers the shooting had occurred at the park.

Investigators say the victims had confronted two other men in the park just before the shots were fired. Those two were seen fleeing in a small black, possibly four-door car. No arrests have been announced and Aurora police continue to seek tips as they investigate.

If anyone was at the party or in Utah Park that night and saw the confrontation or the vehicle leaving, can you help investigators with information?
