On the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, September 2, 2018, a burst of gunfire shattered the afternoon calm at a 7-Eleven gas station in Aurora, Colorado, leaving 29-year-old Carlos Obryna Henry fatally wounded. The incident unfolded around 1:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the convenience store located at 13690 E. Alameda Avenue, near the busy intersection with Interstate 225.
Henry, a male, was struck by a gunshot to the chest.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, and Henry was rushed to a local hospital. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office later officially ruled his death a homicide. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, several other individuals with gunshot wounds were also transported to area hospitals for treatment, though the exact number of injured people was not publicly specified.
The Aurora Police Department's Major Crimes/Homicide Unit launched a thorough investigation into the deadly shooting. Detectives began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the violence in the gas station parking lot. However, law enforcement officials did not release any descriptions or names of potential suspects in the days and weeks that followed.
As of the latest available reports, the investigation into the death of Carlos Obryna Henry remains ongoing. No arrests have been announced in connection with the homicide, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case continues to be an open investigation as authorities appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough and bring those responsible for his death to justice.
