On the evening of April 25, 2025, 33-year-old Armando Vladimir Betancourt-Audia was fatally shot on the Rillito River Park Trail in Tucson, Arizona. The shooting occurred on the bicycle path just east of North First Avenue. Witnesses on the trail directed first responders to Betancourt-Audia, who was found with gunshot wounds and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died.

Tucson Police Department Homicide Unit investigators say the shooting followed a confrontation on the bike path; the person who fired initially fled the scene. Detectives and crime scene teams remained on location to gather evidence. After reviewing forensic evidence, detectives identified 34-year-old Victor Manuel Flores as a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant.

On May 1, 2025, Flores was located on Tucson’s east side and taken into custody with assistance from TPD SWAT and the Operations Division West/Community Response Team. He was booked into Pima County Jail on a warrant for second-degree murder. Did anyone on the trail that evening see what led to the confrontation or the person who fled afterward?
