In the Sept. 18 killing, the body of Bryan Antonio Torres, 18, was found on the pavement of South Fremont Avenue near East Calle Nevada, near South Park Avenue and East Irvington Road, Tucson police have said.
The body of Emir Arreola-Morales, 18, was then found in a vehicle down the street, police said.
Both men had been fatally shot, police said.
