Silverio Xauier Suniga, 19, was fatally shot the night of July 12, 2025, after responding to a friend’s plea for help at a party in the 18900 block of East Crestridge Circle in Aurora, Colorado. Known as Silver, he worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism and was pursuing a master’s degree. Neighbors said the gathering swelled to more than a hundred people in under half an hour and that multiple shots were fired from different firearms. Deputies found Suniga in the driveway with gunshot wounds to his chest; CPR by a neighbor and life-saving attempts by deputies were unsuccessful and the coroner ruled the death a homicide.

The scene contained shell casings of various calibers and at least two vehicles plus one house sustained gunfire damage. A 17-year-old male was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder, and investigators say at least one other teen — described as 17 or 18, about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, heavyset at roughly 220 pounds with blonde hair — remains sought. Suniga’s family has urged the outstanding suspect to surrender.

Did anyone in the area see the party that night or recognize the description of the outstanding suspect?
