A 61-year-old man was killed during a gun battle between his son and an armed robber on Tucson's south side, according to the Tucson Police Department.
Anthony Quintela was killed Saturday night after an armed man, who had entered the Dulceria Funland near West Irvington Road and South 13th Avenue, robbed the cashier and was leaving the business around 8:30 p.m., police said.
Quintela's son, who was also armed, confronted the robber when he left the business and multiple shots were exchanged between the two. The son was not injured during the shooting, police said.
Quintela was taken to Banner-University Medical Center where he died shortly after his arrival.
The robber fled east on Irvington Road and has not been located. It is uncertain if he was wounded, police said.
