Aurora PD lifts shelter-in-place order after wanted person taken into custody

AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora Police Department has lifted a shelter-in-place order for residents between Nome and Moline Streets and 17th and 19th avenues.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the department said its SWAT Team was in the area executing an arrest warrant for a wanted felon. Aurora PD did not share details about the wanted person.

Nearby residents are urged to stay inside and away from doors and windows.

In an update at 9:02 p.m., the department said the person was not complying with orders and crisis negotiators were trying to contact them. Twenty minutes later, Aurora PD announced that the person was taken into custody without incident.

Aurora PD confirmed to Denver7 that the incident was not connected to a nearby apartment complex that's received national attention for alleged Venezuelan gang activity.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
