An elderly man found shot multiple times in his south side mobile home Monday was taken by Rural/Metro Fire Department paramedics to a hospital where he died.
The death of Clarence A. Russell, 72, of the 3200 block of East Mossman Road, is under investigation by homicide detectives, said Deputy Tom Peine, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Russell lived in a neighborhood east of South Country Club Road and north of East Bilby Road.Β
Detectives questioned an acquaintance of Russell's late Monday night about Russell's injuries, Peine said. Investigators did not release further information about the case.
Shortly after 2 p.m. Monday, Rural/Metro firefighters responded to Russell's home in response to a report of a fall victim, Peine said. When paramedics arrived, they observed Russell's injuries and called the sheriff's department.
Paramedics took Russell to University of Arizona Medical Center where he died, Peine said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
