Aurora shooting wasn't random, police say

A shooting that sent an Aurora man to the hospital Friday doesn't appear to be random, police said Tuesday.

A 21-year-old man was shot at 11:55 p.m. Friday while sitting on his porch on the 400 block of Grand Avenue, according to post on the Aurora Police Department Facebook page. He was shot once in the leg and taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening.

Police believe the suspect was inside a tan pickup truck that had pulled up outside the home, according to the post. Further descriptions of the suspect and the vehicle were not immediately available.

The gunfire caused an estimated $1,000 damage to the home, according to the post.

Police have asked anyone with information to call the Aurora Police Department at (630) 256-5500 or Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000.
