Shawn Michael Hicks, a 37-year-old white male, was found in his vehicle after what initially appeared to be a single-vehicle crash at East Alameda Avenue and South Ironton Street in Aurora, Colorado, late on May 28, 2012. First responders discovered Hicks unresponsive in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was transported to the Medical Center of Aurora, South Campus, and died of his injuries on May 29, 2012.

Investigators soon reclassified the incident as a homicide. The Aurora Police Department has kept the investigation open, but no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. The identity of the person or persons responsible for the fatal gunshot, and the motive for the killing, remain unknown.

If anyone has information about Shawn Hicks, his movements that night, or the intersection of East Alameda and South Ironton on May 28, 2012, contact Aurora authorities.
