AURORA, Colo. — Thursday morning, the Arapahoe County Coroner's Office identified the victim in Monday night's deadly road-rage shooting as 48-year-old Stephen Dennis Qualls.

Aurora police have asked for help finding the suspect believed to be involved in the death of Qualls.

In a tweet, APD said they're looking for a red or maroon Ford Explorer with tan trim.

Officers got a call about a shooting in the Dayton Triangle neighborhood Monday night.

APD has only revealed that the victim was a 48-year-old Denver man. He was rushed to the hospital with a single gunshot wound, but later died at the hospital.

The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will release his name once his family has been told.

APD doesn't have any details about the driver of the Ford Explorer that investigators believe was involved and haven't made any arrests.

Anyone who was driving on South Havana Street just before 10 p.m. Monday between East Alameda Avenue and East Idaho Place, and saw a car matching the APD description driving erratically, is asking to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). If you have any video of the car mentioned, investigators want to see it.
