AURORA, Colo. — The suspect from a fatal hit-and-run in Parker was arrested days later in Aurora after an hours-long standoff.

On Monday around 8:30 p.m., a suspect in a white 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo drove away from a shoplifting incident at a Walmart, according to the Parker Police Department. An officer attempted to pull the driver over on S. Parker Road near Plaza Drive after hearing the report of shoplifting, but the driver did not stop, police said.

Shortly after attempting to stop the driver, the police department’s dispatch began receiving reports of a crash at S. Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue. Police determined that the shoplifting suspect had ran a red light and struck a pedestrian who was walking in a designated walkway at the intersection, police said.

Around 4:01 p.m. Wednesday, the Aurora Police Department issued a tweet about a barricaded person in the 2300 block of Dayton Street. In an update at 6:39 p.m., the department said a distraction device was thrown into the house, which caused a loud noise in the area. Aurora PD said the SWAT Team was giving announcements to the barricaded man in order to “resolve this incident peacefully.”

At 8:05 p.m., Aurora PD said the man was in custody and was taken to the hospital due to exposure to chemical irritants. The department said it was assisting Parker PD with the incident.
