Aurora gang unit makes 3 arrests on felony warrants

Aurora Police Department gang unit officers arrested three men with illegal weapons last week, according to a department news release Tuesday.

All three of the arrested men — Isaiah Hughes, 22, Raheim Kyser, 23, and Adonai Kalala, 22 —had active felony warrants for their arrest, the release said, and were all taken into custody at the Aurora Municipal Detention Center.

The arrests were initiated Nov. 26 when gang intervention unit officers were patrolling the 800 block of South Havana Street when they saw two men arguing, one of whom had a handgun. 

Both men got into a car with expired temporary registration and drove away with two other men and a woman, who was released at the scene. 

Officers found three firearms in the car, one of which was stolen and the others with illegal high-capacity magazines, according to the release. 

Hughes was booked into jail on two active felony warrants out of Denver for attempted second-degree strangulation and second-degree aggravated motor vehicle theft. At the traffic stop, he was also charged with possession of a weapon by a previous offender, and possession of a prohibited large-capacity magazine and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Kyser was booked into jail on active warrants for robbery out of Douglas County and parole violation out of Arapahoe County.

Kalala was booked on active warrants our of Arapahoe County for obstructing medical personnel and obstructing a telephone service.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7876.
