Aurora man arrested on suspicion of murder in fatal hit-and-run

An Aurora man was arrested on suspicion of murder after police say he intentionally crashed into a motorcycle rider in November, killing the man.

Jeremy Austen House, 41, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder after deliberation in the death of Dorian Matthew Torrez, according to the Aurora Police Department.

House was driving a 2000 Buick Century near the intersection of South Havana Street and East Jewell Avenue at around 12:15 a.m. on Nov. 18 when he allegedly hit Torrez, who was riding a 2002 Honda motorcycle, and fled the scene.

Torrez, 34, was taken to the hospital and later died.

Aurora police did not say how the two men knew each other and could not immediately be reached for comment.

House and Alexandra Lynn Noorlun, 33, were identified as suspects in the case and arrested Tuesday after barricading themselves at home in the 12200 block of East Kansas Place. They surrendered to police after two hours.

Noorlun, who is also an Aurora resident, was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to a crime and tampering with evidence, both felonies.

House is being held without bail at the Arapahoe County Detention Center and is set to appear in court Friday, according to court records.
