Ronnie Homes, 39, was one of two men shot on the afternoon of December 24, 2022, in the Tollgate Overlook neighborhood of Aurora, Colorado. Police answered calls about gunfire at about 12:30 p.m. on the 17500 block of East Tennessee Place and found Homes and another man, 38-year-old Leonard Rogers, suffering from gunshot wounds outside a residence. Both were transported to a nearby hospital and died a short time later.

The Aurora Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but details about a motive or any suspects have been limited. Initial law enforcement reports said no arrests had been made, and by late 2025 no public announcement of suspects or arrests had been issued. A local funeral home announced Homes’s passing and services were held in early January following the shooting.

If anyone in the Tollgate Overlook area that afternoon saw anything or has information about the shooting, please come forward to the Aurora Police Department.
