Aurora, IL – A 24-year-old Aurora man is in custody after a shooting on Station Boulevard left two men injured early Sunday morning.
According to the Aurora Police Department, officers responded at approximately 6:08 a.m. Sunday to a report of gunfire in the 500 block of Station Boulevard. Upon arrival, they found a 19-year-old man with a single lower body gunshot wound and a 20-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics treated both victims at the scene before transporting them to local hospitals. The 19-year-old was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries, while the 20-year-old remained in critical condition.
Police said the preliminary investigation indicated the shooting was an isolated incident between known acquaintances. The shooter allegedly left a firearm at the scene before fleeing. After gathering evidence and conducting interviews, investigators identified Aaron Conley, 24, as a suspect. Conley reportedly turned himself in to Aurora Police at about 3 a.m. Monday, accompanied by family members.
The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office has charged Conley with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a repeat felony offender, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday morning at the DuPage County Court House.
Aurora Police credited the Naperville Police Department, DuPage County Sheriff’s Office, and Kane County Sheriff’s Office for assisting in the investigation. Officials said the case remains under investigation and urged anyone with information to call the Aurora Police Department’s Investigations Division at 630-256-5500.
Warrants and charges are allegations, and Conley is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
