Police have identified a man who was fatally shot Wednesday outside a north-side fast-food restaurant.
Police identifed the man as Jose Carlos Gonzales, 29.
Gonzales was shot shortly after 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Eegee's, 3872 N. Oracle Road, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
The shooter and Gonzales had arrived in the parking lot in separate vehicles. Both men met in the parking lot and a fight broke out. One of the men pulled out a gun and fired, Widmer said.
Witnesses told investigators that the shooter ran south on Oracle, leaving his vehicle in the parking lot. Detectives have identified a person of interest in the shooting, but his name was not released Thursday.
The vehicle that Gonzales had been in had other occupants who drove off, Widmer said. They struck another vehicle as they left, but no injuries were reported from that incident.
A police helicopter and canine units scoured the surrounding neighborhood in search of the shooter, but police did not find him.
Detectives were working to gather information about how the victim and suspect knew each other, and what the shooter's motive was.
