Investigators said the charges stem from an incident that began at 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 4 when Aurora police officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment complex in the 10600 block of East Jewell  Avenue. 

When officers arrived, they said they located several cartridge casings but no victim. Officers said they later learned that the victim drove himself to a local hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Cole remains in custody on $500,000 bond.
