Just caught the tail end of Aurora's high speed chase of a suspect with an automatic weapon. Aurora and Denver patched together and sounded pretty good.
Aurora apprehended the suspect apparently without incident. Pretty exciting for a hump day !
DENVER - Aurora Police took a man into custody Wednesday night following a high speed chase. They say he's the son of a woman who was found murdered in Montbello earlier in the day.
Officers conducting a welfare check Wednesday found the body of a 51-year-old woman inside her home on the 5200 block of Altura Street. Relatives who gathered outside the home after hearing about the crime identified the woman as Jerlean Harris.
Later Wednesday, Aurora police arrested Jerel Harris, the man Denver Police had named a "person of interest." He was arrested near the corner of Montview Boulevard and Ironton Street following a chase, driving the white GMC truck that was reported missing from his mother's home.
Relatives said Jerlean Harris was a kind woman and a single mother of two. "She did anything that she could for people," said a niece, MaCoya Harris.
