When officers arrived, they found a man dead in the parking lot of the Hancock Office Park.

"There is some sort of recording studio that's inside of this building, so we believe it's associated with that. At this point all of our detectives are interviewing the people who were here when the shooting took place," said Aurora Police Sgt. Chris Amsler.
