Aurora police said an argument that began on social media ended in gunfire last week.
Martin Leyva-Ramirez, 24, 900 block of South Fourth Street, was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful possession of an explosive bullet in connection with a Sept. 30 shooting on Webster Street in Aurora.
Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli said Leyva-Ramirez and a 21-year-old Aurora man were arguing over Facebook around 8:10 p.m. when the 21-year-old invited Leyva-Ramirez over to fight.
According to Ferrelli, Levya-Ramirez arrived at the man’s home in the first block of Webster Street within minutes of the Facebook conversation ending.
Police said Leyva-Ramirez fired multiple shots at the 21-year-old man who was standing in the front yard. Ferrelli said a 16-year-old male relative who was close by was also targeted. Neither man was struck by bullets.
Following the shooting, Leyva-Ramirez left the area, police said.
Leyva-Ramirez was taken into custody within an hour of the shooting, and was charged the following day.
