AURORA, Colo. — An argument in an apartment parking lot in Aurora last year proved deadly for a 41-year-old man and now police are asking for the public’s help solving the case.

Sunday marks one year since the shooting death of Jared Chavez, who was gunned down outside his home at Ridge Hill Apartments, located at 900 South Crystal Way.
