Just after 6:30 p.m. on October 22,2025, Aurora Police Officers responded to a report of a fatal auto-pedestrian crash on East Colfax Avenue near Laredo Street. The investigation determined that an adult male was crossing north across Colfax when he was struck by a GMC SUV. The driver did not remain on scene.
Thanks to the work of the department’s Real Time Information Center (RTIC) and the use of Flock Safety cameras, the suspect vehicle was quickly identified. Officers located the driver, 32-year-old Daryl Murray, at a Denver address and took him into custody without incident.
Murray was arrested on charges of driving with a suspended license, failing to notify police of a crash, and leaving the scene of a crash. He is being held at the Aurora Detention Center on a $20,000 bond. Formal charges will be filed by the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
The Aurora Police Department extends its appreciation to the responding officers and RTIC staff for their quick work and collaboration in bringing this case to a swift resolution.
