AURORA — Police have identified the man who shot a 17-year-old Aurora Central High School girl outside the school on Monday.

Luis Guzman-Rincon, 19, is in the Arapahoe County Jail on $100,000 bond. He faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Guzman-Rincon is an illegal immigrant, according to police. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have placed a hold on him.

Karina Vargas is recovering from her injuries after she was shot in the torso while talking with friends outside the school Monday afternoon.

Police say the shooting could be gang related. Witnesses at the scene said two gangs were outside the school that day arguing. Vargas was not part of altercation, however.
