Aurora Man Shot In His Car During Drug Deal: Police

AURORA, IL — Two incidents have police looking for information. The first was a report of shots fired Dec. 4. The gunman struck a garage in the 800 block of Grove Street around 4:40 p.m., police said. According to a message on the Aurora Police Department Facebook page, investigators have reason to believe there was gunfire exchanged and numerous bullets discharged.

What little information they have of the suspect, is that the man (whose race is unknown) was wearing a green hoodie when he was last seen in the area.

On Wednesday, the department posted about a Dec. 2 shooting of a 20-year-old Aurora man. It happened around 2:35 p.m. in the parking lot of the 1800 block of Foxfield Drive.

Police said it appears the man was shot as he sat in his car during a drug transaction. The victim was treated at an Aurora hospital for a non life-threatening wound on his upper body.

There's no description of the suspect, but if you saw anything, police want to hear from you.

Aurora Crime Stoppers can be reached at 630-892-1000, and information that leads to an arrest qualifies for a cash reward.
