A boy was killed in a November drive-by shooting in Aurora, Colorado. On November 11, 2022, 12-year-old King Matthew Wright was fatally wounded on Zion Street; a 13-year-old friend, Tayamir Sir Real Winston, was also struck and survived with serious injuries. The boys had been walking to meet an acquaintance they had arranged to hang out with that day.

The acquaintance was identified as 18-year-old Rolando Felipe. Winston told investigators that as he and King Matthew Wright walked up the street, a handgun was fired in their direction. Felipe initially told police he’d been robbed the week before and that two masked people threatened him, so he fired in self-defense. Under further questioning he acknowledged the boys were not masked, said he did not actually see a gun, and admitted he could have driven away instead of firing.

Felipe was located and arrested after information from Winston’s older brother helped police find him. Does anyone have information about King Matthew Wright, Tayamir Winston, or what happened that afternoon on Zion Street?
