Denver police found a body in a dumpster on Monday and investigators linked the death to a shooting that happened in Aurora on Saturday.

Officers responded to a report of a body found in the 1400 block of Olive Street on Monday morning, according to a news release. Evidence at the scene showed that the body had been taken to Olive Street in a van and disposed of.

Investigators found the van a short distance from the scene, the report said.
