A man fatally shot his neighbor and injured his neighborβs friends in a parking dispute on Tucsonβs south side Monday, police said.
Around 8 p.m. Monday, a woman called 911 to report her fiance, Marco Orantez, 28, had been shot outside his home, the Tucson Police Department said in a news release.
She said she was taking Orantez to Banner University Medical Center and that there were other victims still at the house where the incident happened, in the 1600 block of West Ajo Way.
Orantez was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
A second gunshot victim arrived at St. Maryβs Hospital and was transferred to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police said.
A third victim was treated at St. Maryβs Hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries, police said.
Two of the four men who were outside the home where the shooting happened told police they were working on a car in front of Orantezβs home when Luis tapia Jr., Orantezβs neighbor, got upset about where his friends parked their car.
The men started arguing and Tapia got a gun from his home and started shooting, police said.
Three of the four men were struck.
Officers arrested Tapia and booked him into Pima County Jail, where he will face a first-degree murder charge and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and weapons misconduct charges.
Police continue to investigate the shooting and are asking anyone who witnessed the incident to call 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster line.
