An Aurora woman survived a shooting by pretending to be dead after a gun
was fired at her head earlier this month, according to police documents.
The gunman, her ex-husband, allegedly killed another woman in the room who
confronted him.
Vatrice Little, 35, of Denver, was pronounced deceased at the scene of the
incident, 1702 Paris Street in Aurora, on Friday, Feb. 9, about 15 minutes
after police were notified of the shooting.
Kelynn Lewis, 32, of Aurora, was arrested by a large police force Sunday
morning, roughly 36 hours later. Officers and K9's from the Aurora Police
Department's Major Homicide Crimes Unit (MCHU), Direct Action Response
Team (DART), and Fugitive Apprehension and Surveillance Team (FAST)
surrounded Lewis at a residence near the intersection of Jewell Avenue and
Peoria Street, according to an APD spokesperson. Public records do not
show Lewis living at a registered address in that area.

According to Lewis's arrest affidavit, the fatal incident began when Lewis
entered the Paris Street apartment of 27-year-old Deondranay McCain. Lewis
had moved out of the apartment three months earlier, according to the
report. The two were parents of a young child and had recently divorced
(although the marriage was determined to not be legally binding during
those divorce proceedings).
Lewis reportedly walked to the doorway of a bedroom where McCain and
Little were braiding one another's hair. He raised a black handgun, said
to McCain, "You think this was a game?" and fired once at McCain's head,
McCain told investigators.
McCain then stated she dropped to the floor and pretended to be dead.
From that position, she saw Little move in front of Lewis. McCain then
told investigators she heard four or five gunshots and Little fell to the
floor next to her, suffering obvious wounds to her face and bleeding
badly.
Lewis then left the apartment and McCain called 9-1-1.
Little was McCain's cousin, the affidavit stated. A family member also
confirmed that relationship.
When asked by investigators why Lewis may have done something like this,
McCain said she had told Lewis in a phone call earlier in the day that her
youngest child was not Lewis's biological child. Per the affidavit, Lewis
had believed the child was his and he had cared for the child since birth.
Thursday, the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office filed murder and
attempted murder charges against Lewis. There are also four counts of
misdemeanor child abuse in the case. The affidavit mentioned children
being present in another bedroom of the apartment during the shooting.
A family member told CBS News Colorado that Little was the mother of four
children ages 13-18. Her mother, Shalonda Hicks, said Little was recently
campaigning to become the covergirl for Ink Magazine.
Lewis's criminal background includes two three-month jail terms, one for a
burglary in Aurora in 2013 and auto trespass and violation of a protection
order in Douglas County in 2010. Most recently, he was sentenced in Denver
court to 15 months in the Department of Corrections in 2016 for being a
convicted felon in possession of weapon.
Lewis is scheduled to appear in Adams County District Court on March 6.
