Collingwood Prison Aurora Home Invasion Shooting Death
CONFLICT signal, reported in US, from denverpost.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Denver, Colorado, United States.
What Happened
A woman was sentenced to 22 years in prison Monday for her role in an Aurora home invasion that led to the death of 16-year-old Audrina Fedelina Arrington. April Collingwood, 46, was found guilty in July of nine felonies, including first-degree burglary and multiple conspiracy and robbery charges. The shooting occurred on January 7, 2025, when two men broke into Arrington’s family apartment at 10600 East Jewell Avenue, resulting in a fight where at least five shots were fired. Arrington was hit in the jaw and died from her injuries at the hospital. Collingwood, Cooper Miller (37), and David Gunion (53) were arrested after the incident. Miller pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary in March 2025 and received a 10-year sentence, while Gunion pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary in July 2025 and was sentenced to 15 years.
Why it matters
The case highlights the consequences of home invasions in Aurora, where a teenage girl died during a burglary. Collingwood’s 22-year sentence reflects the severity of her role in the crime, while Miller and Gunion received 10 and 15 years respectively. The incident underscores the risks faced by young people in residential areas and the legal outcomes for those involved in violent crimes. Authorities have dismissed second-degree murder charges against all three suspects due to insufficient evidence, indicating the focus remains on burglary-related convictions.
