A teenager is dead and another man was injured in a shooting Monday night at an apartment complex on Tucsonโs west side.
Today the Reid Park Zoo celebrates the birthday of Penzi, the African elephant, who is one year old. This not-so-little elephant has captured the imagination of the community as she splashes in her mud wallow, gobbles up hay, and follows her big sister Nandi around to learn how to be an elephant.

Officers responded around 10:30 p.m. April 5 to a report of gunfire outside The Ranch at Star Pass, a sprawling complex at the corner of South Shannon Road and West Broadway, the Tucson Police Department said.
There, they found a 25-year-old man with gunshot trauma behind the wheel of a vehicle that had struck a utility pole. He was taken to a hospital with wounds that were not life-threatening.
Soon after, TPD received word that a carful of people had dropped off a teen with gunshot wounds at the emergency room of St. Maryโs Hospital, where he died.
The deceased was identified as 17-year-old Francisco Ramon Santamaria Aguirre.
Detectives determined a confrontation occurred in the parking lot of the apartment complex, during which shots were fired.
