A man was shot and killed at a midtown grocery store early this morning.
Just before 4 a.m. police responded to a 911 call about shots fired at the Northgate Shopping Center on the northeast corner of East Grant Road and North Alvernon Way. They found a 25-year-old man dead just inside the door of the Walmart Neighborhood Market, Sgt. Chris Widmer, spokesman for the Tucson Police Department, said.
The man, who was unarmed, had a confrontation with at least two men outside the store entrance, Widmer said. Multiple shots were fired and the victim walked into the Walmart, collapsed and died.
Police are looking for a white four-door car that was seen leaving the parking lot immediately after the shooting, heading north on Alvernon.
In addition to homicide investigators, members of TPD’s gang unit were called in to investigate, Widmer said.
The name of the slain man has not been released.
The investigation is ongoing.
