DENVER (KDVR) — New data from the City of Aurora shows violent crime is trending down. Compared to September 2022, murder rates have dropped nearly 7%. During the last year, aggravated assaults have also gone down more than 12% and robberies have dropped by 36%. Despite the trend, Aurora is still dealing with violent crime and a lot of the time either the victim or the suspects are teenagers or even kids. In March, 13-year-old Phoenix Day was shot and killed outside the Town Center of Aurora Mall following a fight between a different group of teens.
