Taurean Shaun Leaks was 28 when he was shot and killed on April 19, 2008, on a street in Aurora, Colorado. A neighbor found him wounded in the street that evening and called for help. Investigators say Leaks was confronted in front of a Clinton Street residence by a Black male and a Black female; as he tried to flee a shot struck him in the back and proved fatal.

Leaks was married to Leah M. Leaks and was father to five children: Adonis T., Taurean J., Telaira S., Kaia S.F., and Jasmin L. A memorial service was held at Macedonia Baptist Church in Denver. The case went cold and the two people who confronted him have not been publicly identified or apprehended.

Anyone with information about the April 19, 2008, homicide or who remembers activity on Clinton Street that night is asked to contact the Aurora Police Department.
