Aurora Police Arrest Denver Man in Fatal East Colfax Hit-and-Run

Aurora police are investigating two separate deadly hit-and-run incidents involving pedestrians in October 2025. The first occurred on East Hampden Avenue, where a man pushing a shopping cart was struck by a dark-colored Chevrolet sedan that fled the scene; the vehicle likely has damage to the front passenger side, and police are seeking public assistance for information. The second incident took place on East Colfax Avenue, where a pedestrian was hit by a GMC SUV driven by Daryl Murray, who fled but was subsequently arrested using license plate data captured by Aurora's FLOCK camera system. Murray faces charges including driving with a suspended license, failing to notify police of a crash, and leaving the scene and is held on $20,000 bail. Both cases highlight ongoing concerns about hit-and-run incidents and the role of technology in aiding law enforcement. Authorities continue to seek information from the public to resolve these cases.
