On the morning of August 23, 2023, 49-year-old Miguel Angel Saucedo Araujo was killed in Aurora, Colorado, after a confrontation that began when two people were stealing scooters from the backyard of his Paris Street residence. Awakened about 4:30 a.m., he and his son went outside and the thieves fled on the scooters. The pair pursued in a pickup; their vehicle was shot at during the chase but no one was injured then. After returning home, a vehicle later drove by and multiple rounds were fired into the house. One bullet fatally struck Saucedo Araujo.

Aurora police arrested four teenage suspects. A 16-year-old male was taken into custody on September 2, 2023, on charges including first-degree murder and aggravated robbery. Two more youths were arrested in October: Ahmed Mohamed, who was 17 at the time of the shooting and charged as an adult with first and second-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated robbery and illegal discharge of a firearm; and a 15-year-old charged in juvenile court. A 17-year-old male was arrested in December and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated robbery. Mohamed later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and received a seven-year youthful offender term plus a 21-year suspended prison sentence as part of his disposition.
