AURORA, Colo. – A man was arrested Thursday following the deadly shooting of a teen involved in an attempted car break-in late Wednesday night, police said in a news release Thursday.

Orest Schur, 27, is facing one charge of each of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in connection with the deadly shooting of a teen who was allegedly trying to break into his vehicle near the intersection of E. 59th Place and Flanders St.

Police said the incident happened at around 11:20 p.m., when residents in the area heard a car alarm go off and observed two people dressed in all black trying to break into a Hyundai Elantra. The owner of the vehicle, Schur, confronted the suspects.

The suspects – identified by police as teens, one them a 13-year-old boy – sped away in another suspected stolen car. Schur, who was armed, chased after them in his Elantra until the teens crashed a short distance away on East 58th Circle near the intersection with E. 58th Ave.

“During the incident, Schur fired several shots at the people he suspected of trying to break into his car, striking both,” police said in a news release Thursday.
