AURORA, CO - JULY 20:  Memebers of the Aurora ...

Fox31 reports that police are seeking a second person of interest in the horrific Colorado theater shooting. Fox31 did not identify the man other than to say that he was a fellow neuroscience graduate student at the University of Colorado, but other sources have identified him as Yeom Pyo Lee. Fox31 reports further regarding Lee:

Neighbors of the person of interest say for the past two days there have been SWAT team and police cars in their alley and unmarked cars in street.

“He’s been there about a year,” said one neighbor.

Agents showed up again this morning.

“I woke up this morning with cops still here trying to look inside his home.  At 5:00 a.m. cops showed-up and asked me about (him).”

Sources tell Justin Joseph someone made either a call or a text from the person of interest’s phone threatening violence if James Egan Holmes was not released from jail. That call prompted police to issue an alert to find and detain him.

It remains to be seen what role, if any, Lee played in the horrific massacre. He has not been seen since the event, and law enforcement agencies everywhere are actively searching for him.
