The man killed in an officer-involved shooting Wednesday in Aurora has been identified as 27-year-old Temesgen Welendreyas of Aurora, the Kane County Coroner’s Office said on Friday. At around 12:35 p.m. Wednesday, Aurora Police Telecommunications received a call for a person with a weapon in the 300 block of South Broadway in Aurora, according to a press release on Wednesday from police. Responding officers found a man barricaded and armed with a weapon, the release said. When the officers encountered the man, he displayed a knife, according to police. Aurora police officers fired shots, and the man sustained at least one gunshot wound, the release said. Officers then began to render aid until Aurora Fire Department paramedics arrived. The fire department continued to provide emergency medical care to the man, who ultimately died from his injuries, according to officials. An autopsy conducted on Friday determined the preliminary cause of death to be gunshot wounds, the Coroner’s Office said on Friday. Toxicology samples have been collected and sent for further forensic analysis. The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office and Fox Valley Major Crimes Task Force are conducting an independent investigation into the shooting, according to a news release from the State’s Attorney’s Office on Friday. The investigations typically take a few months, at which time a full report outlining the findings will be released, officials said. No personnel from the Aurora Police Department will be involved in the investigation, the release said. The Fox Valley Major Crimes Task Force will be handling the ongoing investigation into the use of force, the State’s Attorney’s Office said in the release. Those findings will be presented to the State’s Attorney’s Office for an independent review of the facts. [email protected] ...read more read less
