An incident of road rage was elevated to a homicide case overnight when a man died of injuries from the Oct. 4 shooting.David Uribe, 22, died Monday night at a local hospital. Tucson Police Department investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the shooting, said Sgt. Maria Hawke, a Tucson police spokeswoman.
The night of the shooting, Uribe was a passenger in a white pickup truck headed west on East 22nd Street about 7:30 p.m. When the driver stopped at the intersection of 22nd Street and South Tucson Boulevard the occupants of a red passenger car “began to engage in an altercation with the occupants of the white pickup truck,” said Hawke, who did not know the nature of the confrontation.
Both vehicles continued in the same direction and near the intersection of East 21st Street and South Highland Avenue someone in the red car shot at the pickup truck. More shots were fired near the intersection of East 21st Street and South Mountain Avenue before the red car sped away.
Anyone with information can call 911 or 88-CRIME.
