Colorado Springs man arrested in connection with Aurora shooting death

Colorado Springs police on Monday arrested a man in connection with a homicide that occurred in Aurora early Sunday.

Armanni Woods, 31, of Colorado Springs, was arrested by the Aurora Police Department fugitive unit with assistance from the Colorado Springs Police Department’s tactical unit, K9 unit and Real Time Crime Center at a Colorado Springs motel, according to a Monday APD news release.

The arrest came a day after Aurora patrol officers reported having found a 49-year-old man dead on the ground with a gunshot wound just before 7:30 a.m. near the intersection of Warren Avenue and South Galena Street.

The man who died will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office pending an autopsy and family notification.

Major Crime Homicide Unit investigators determined the shooting occurred several hours before in the 2200 block of South Havana Street — one block away from where the victim was found, a Monday news release said.

Woods was booked into the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center on Monday, the release said. Formal charges will be filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

The investigation remains active and ongoing, police said and anyone with information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7869.
