Nineteen-year-old Antonio I Rivera was shot in Tucson on the evening of April 17, 2025, after a pre-arranged meeting between two groups in a parking lot near South 12th Avenue and East Drexel Road turned violent. First responders found Rivera unresponsive and he was taken to a hospital, where he died two days later from his gunshot wounds. The Tucson Police Department classifies the case as a homicide.

Investigators say the incident began as a report of a shooting victim and believe the confrontation may have started as a robbery attempt. A 14-year-old male was initially arrested on aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery; after Rivera’s death those charges were upgraded to first-degree murder. On May 15 a 15-year-old male was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted armed robbery, and attempted aggravated robbery, held on one-million-dollar bond.

Anyone with information about the April 17 meeting or the events in that parking lot is asked to come forward.
