A 30-year-old man was fatally shot Thursday after a series of confrontations, Tucson police say.
The incident started in the evening when Rudy Ochoa went to the home of a woman with whom he had had a relationship, Tucson police said Monday in news release.
They argued and soon Ochoa was in an argument with several other people who arrived at the house.
"The male proceeded to engage them all in a verbal altercation, to include making threats to them and implying he had a firearm. Statements and evidence at the scene indicated that the male instigated the confrontation," the release said.
Ochoa followed several people who drove off. "While they were mobile, the male continued to make threats and swerved his vehicle towards them through the streets of Midtown Tucson," the release said.
About 7:00 p.m., Ochoa confronted a 23-year-old man and his female companion in the 2500 block of East 21st Street. The man shot Ochoa, the release said.
Ochoa died Friday at the hospital.
Tucson police say they continue to investigate at that the case will be submitted to the Pima County Attorney's Office for possible charges.
