Tucson police are investigating an early morning shooting on the south side of town that left one man dead and a second injured.
Shortly after 1:30 a.m., officers responded to multiple reports of a shooting in the 1100 block of East 32nd Street, near East Silverlake Road and South Park Avenue, said Sgt. Kimberly Bay, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.
Officers found a man lying in the street with gunshot wounds and a second man nearby who had also been shot, Bay said.
Paramedics were called while officers rendered first aid to the victims. The man who was found in the street was pronounced dead on the scene and second man was transported to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, Bay said.
The name of the deceased man is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
Homicide detectives have learned that a large gathering took place last night on the block where the men were found, during which several people got into a fight in the street and shots were fired.
Detectives are in still interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence, and the investigation is in the early stages.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
