Daniel Joseph Roman, 43, was fatally shot on September 23, 2024, in the parking lot of a QuikTrip in Surprise, Arizona, near Bell Road and Loop 303. Emergency responders found him with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts by witnesses and officers.

Police identified the shooter as 49-year-old Lucas Izzo and reported Izzo was the ex-husband of the woman Roman was dating. Authorities say Izzo shot Roman without provocation because of that relationship, then died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound; both men were pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was harmed.

Roman had lived in Arizona since 1986 after moving from New Jersey and had been a General Manager at QuikTrip for almost 22 years, described as a respected leader and mentor. He is survived by his daughter, the daughter’s mother, his mother and her husband, and his sister and her wife. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events that led to it, please come forward.
