Andrew Jacob Valencia, 32, was killed by gunfire in Tucson on July 27, 2025. The shooting occurred just after 9:00 a.m. in the courtyard of the Grand Luxe Hotel on West Grant Road. Officers found two men with gunshot wounds; Valencia was pronounced dead at the scene and a 33-year-old was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say the violence began during a confrontation between Valencia and a group that included two men riding a dirt bike. The dispute was reportedly linked to an earlier disagreement. Surveillance footage and witness interviews indicate Valencia drew a firearm and shot the 33-year-old, after which one of the dirt bike riders returned fire and fatally struck Valencia. The two dirt bike riders fled but were later identified.

Homicide detectives identified the suspected shooter as 35-year-old Angel Ray Figueroa-Alicea, who was arrested and booked into the Pima County Jail on an initial charge of being a Prohibited Possessor; possible homicide charges were to be reviewed by the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Did anyone see activity around the Grand Luxe Hotel that morning or recognize the dirt bike riders?
