Aurora police are seeking the public's help to solve the slaying of an 18-year-old who was shot Wednesday night on the city's near east side and died early Thursday.

Daniel Perez-Alvarez, of the 200 block of North Ohio Street, was fatally shot about 9:50 p.m. near Claim and Beach streets while riding in a car with a 19-year-old man and two juveniles, ages 16 and 17, police said.

The shots were fired from a passing vehicle and there is no description of the vehicle or any of its occupants, police said, noting the shooting was not a random act.

Paramedics took Perez-Alvarez to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:17 a.m. Thursday, police said.

This is the second shooting this week on the city's near east side.
