Interstate Shooting, Deported Suspect Arrested in Aurora: A Quiet Week in the City

During the previous week in Aurora, police responded to several notable incidents across the city. Early Saturday morning, a shooting occurred on Interstate 225 near East 6th Avenue. According to Aurora Police Department briefing and CBS News Colorado, officers responded around 1:15 a.m. to a reported single-vehicle crash into the highway’s jersey barrier. Upon arrival, they discovered the driver, an adult male, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to the hospital and remains in critical condition and on life support. Aurora Police reports indicate that this was not a random act. Detectives determined that the suspect tailed the victim through city streets and onto the highway before firing multiple rounds into the victim’s car. Investigators utilized Flock Safety cameras and license plate readers to identify the suspect’s vehicle and subsequently arrested 38-year-old Celin Villeda Orellana, a Honduran national previously deported three times, near 11th Avenue and Havana Street following a traffic stop. Officers recovered a loaded handgun and a spent casing from the car. The suspect was booked on multiple felony charges, including attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, menacing, and illegal discharge of a firearm. Authorities transferred Orellana to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody for possible federal charges. The case remains under active investigation, and police have stated the shooting stemmed from a personal dispute involving an unidentified female.No other major incidents have been reported publicly in the past week by Aurora Police Department or other area law enforcement agencies as of this report.
