AURORA | A 33-year-old Aurora man faces charges linked to the injury shooting of a child, 11, who was riding a bike with two friends in north Aurora earlier this month, police said Friday.

Jalen Davis was arrested after investigators recovered a firearm they say was used in the Oct. 12 shooting, Aurora police spokesperson Kristopher McDonald said in a statement.

Officers responded 11 p.m. Oct. 12 to an area near East First Avenue and Havana Street after reports of shooting there.

“The victim told officers he and two friends were riding bicycles when they encountered a man and woman walking in the area,” McDonald said. “According to the victim, the woman asked the boys, ‘Do you want to get shot?’ before the man displayed a handgun and fired two rounds at them.”
