Chan Lieth, a 25-year-old Black man, died on December 21, 2015, after being shot by Aurora police officers in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven at East 11th Avenue and Yosemite Street in Denver. Officers had been trying to stop a Jeep reported stolen that Lieth was driving; authorities said he had made multiple attempts in the days before to bait officers into a chase. On the night of the shooting, officers cornered the vehicle at the convenience store and tried to pin it with a patrol car. Lieth reportedly drove the Jeep back and forth, striking police cars and the store.

Two Aurora officers, Teresa Fields and Josh Stuteville, fired at the vehicle and struck Lieth multiple times. First responders performed CPR and he was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead; the Denver County coroner ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds. The Denver District Attorney, Mitch Morrissey, later concluded the shooting was justified and declined to file charges; the officers had been on paid administrative leave while the investigation proceeded. Questions remain about the decision in light of a Denver Police Department policy that generally prohibits firing at moving vehicles.

Has anyone with knowledge of the incident or the location on East 11th Avenue and Yosemite Street been able to add detail about what happened that night?
