AURORA, Colo. — Police in Aurora are investigating after two men were found stabbed to death early Sunday morning.
The two victims were both found in the same area, only hours apart. The Aurora Police Department said the two incidents are likely connected.
The first victim was found unresponsive around 1:45 a.m. According to Aurora PD, he was lying down on a sidewalk at 1535 N. Moline Street, just off E. Colfax Avenue.
Officers performed life-saving actions, but the man died at the scene, according to police. His identity has not been released.
Around 6 a.m., another stabbing victim was found three blocks east of the first victim at E. Colfax Avenue and Peoria Street.
The unresponsive man was found with apparent stab wounds at an RTD bus stop at that intersection, according to police. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.
The Aurora Police Department on Wednesday announced it had obtained an arrest warrant for a man allegedly connected to the stabbings.
The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information on the two cases to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
*Editor's note: Previous reporting said the two stabbings were separate cases before Aurora police gave an update on the investigation Monday afternoon.
