Tucson police identified the man killed in a shooting outside south-side BK Tacos and Hot Dogs shortly after 4 p.m. Friday, authorities say.
Bernardo Marin, 25, was found shot in the parking lot when officers arrived, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, a Tucson police spokesman. The popular restaurant is at 5118 S. 12th Ave.
Marin was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Officers learned from witnesses that a second man was in a vehicle south of the restaurant. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries and remained there as of Friday night, Dugan said.
Marin and the man were in the parking lot when at least two other men approached them. There was a short verbal altercation before gunshots were heard.
Officers are still searching for the men who fled the scene. Gang detectives were among investigators at the scene, Dugan said. He said the incident appeared to be gang-related.
No further information has been released.
