On the morning of September 12, 2024, the body of 16-year-old Adrian Aguilar was found on the side of South Oak Tree Drive, just north of Valencia Road in Tucson. Officers and Tucson Fire Department personnel responded around 10:30 a.m.; Adrian showed clear signs of gunshot trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators classified the case as a homicide and determined he had been struck in a drive-by shooting.

Homicide detectives identified a Ford pickup as the vehicle involved and named two 16-year-old suspects: Alan Solis-Araujo and Marco Antonio Pallanes-Luzania. A prior confrontation between Adrian and one of the suspects was reported to have preceded the shooting. On September 17, 2024, Alan Solis-Araujo was taken into custody at his Tucson home without incident, and on September 18, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested Marco Antonio Pallanes-Luzania at the Douglas port of entry. Both have been charged with 1st Degree Murder and Drive-by Shooting.

Does anyone have information about Adrian, the reported prior confrontation, or the Ford pickup seen in the area that morning?
