Aurora police arrest person of interest in Elijah McClain protest shooting

By: Óscar Contreras Jul 28, 2020

AURORA, Colo. – A person of interest wanted in the shooting of two people during a march calling for justice in the death of Elijah McClain in Aurora last Saturday has been arrested.

Samuel Young, 23, was arrested on four counts of attempted homicide, police said in a news release late Monday night.

Young reportedly fired a weapon as a Jeep drove into the crowd that was marching on Interstate 225 on Saturday. At least two people were injured as a result of the shooting, with one person being shot in the leg and another suffering a graze wound to the head, according to police.

Police released photos of Young Sunday evening, which were provided by a witness, in hopes it would help Aurora investigators determine his identity. The department tweeted Monday that thanks to several tips they were able to identify the person in the photos, saying Monday evening Young was the person of interest in the photos.

Investigators are still urging anyone with pictures or videos that show the actions of the Jeep driver, prior to driving through the group of protesters, to reach out to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. They also ask that any witnesses of that incident contact t Sgt. Jeff Longnecker of the Major Crimes/Homicide Unit for an interview.

The Aurora Police Department said it continues to investigate other incidents of violence during the protest march on the highway.

Funny viewing. Everyone in the courtroom was laughing. Sad for father and young lady driver.

AC-47 has proven useful, when surrounded by men dressed in black.

Must be one of those peaceful shootings I keep hearing about.

Maybe 5 gallons of skunk extract and some irrigation spray nozzles mounted on the roof rack would be an option. Or just a couple of skunks in a cage on the roof with a button to give them a good shock if needed.

“Any opinions?”

A remote control machine gun with video camera that extends up through your sun roof, 360 degree with tilt controls and watch the fun from the comfort of your car.

2nd option, wire a battery to an old ignition coil that connects to your car body and zap them with a few thousand volts.

The Jeep didn’t hit anybody, but a lot of people were throwing stuff at the Jeep.

Yes- Ruger or FN 5.7 pistol. I got a chance to fire one last week. All the recoil of a 22 cal pistol, with an armor (and windshield) piercing round that looks like a rifle round— necked down and pointed. Oh, and a magazine that holds 21 rounds.

It is another politically correct term they invented. It has been in use for a number of years. Slowly but surely they are changing our vocabulary. Along with our heritage. Along with our Country.

At one time it was against the law to intentionally block traffic on an Interstate highway. no more. When the Socialists decide they want to block one and beat the hell out of the drivers they cause to stop they just do it. When the Police arrive They ensure that the rioters remain safe at they bust motorists after motorists head. And they make sure that no motorists tries to escape by making a u-turn, If they do make a u-turn the Police chase them down and bring them back.I saw one video where the Socialists had people stopped on an Interstate while demonstrating to racism and a Black girl was going down the line of stopped cars with a one way lug wrench busting windows.

If anyone ever gets caught up in one of these "protests" don't depend on the Police to help you. While the Police and Socialists don't tag team, they do work in concert. Yesterday, a Freeper, Travis McGee to be exact, posted a set of instructions one should adhere to when caught in one of these "protests". It would behoove one to follow them. Following them won't save one a hospital visit, but they will mean the difference between a 0 to 20 year prison term.

Hopefully, that list is of items you already own. There isn’t much of a selection in the shops these days.
Personally, I carry my Beretta 92F with 2 15 round magazines along with 2 30 round mags. also a Kahr .45 with one seven round mag that would go to the passenger (If applicable).

Anything bigger would be unwieldy. Can’t shoot accurately and drive at the same time.

Everybody should be carrying in their cars to fight fire with fire.

Trying to decide:

1) Pistol
2) Pistol caliber carbine (9MM, 45ACP)
3) AR Pistol in 5.56mm
4) Short stock shotgun in 12 gauge

Any opinions?


All of the above. In case you have passengers.

I've gotten some really good advice. I'm trending towards a modern 45ACP carbine, since I'm already invested in that cartridge. Thanks for the advice!

I like pistol carbines with a forward flash hider to take the blast forward instead of the sides.

Definitely a pistol in that same caliber. 9mm is good enough.

Some folks think rifle calibers are needed. I’m not so sure about that since those are longer distance rounds and cumbersome to take out of your car.

The point is to escape not sustain a firefight.


Carrying a 9mm in car these days with a few spare mags, glock 19 FWIW or mp shield. I also have a Baretta 9MM storm carbine with a few spare mags along with a few boxes of 9mm ammo. Problem with a long gun is it difficult to maneuver in a pony car. The carbine is just about right sized for that. My ammo of choice is the FED 9BPLE.
