On the late evening of August 27, 2024, Ryan Edward Brean, 43, was found behind a gas station at 5151 E. Speedway Blvd. in Midtown Tucson after suffering gunshot wounds. First responders from the Tucson Fire Department and officers attempted lifesaving measures, but Brean was pronounced dead at the scene just after 8:10 p.m.

Investigators say Brean had been involved in a dispute with another man at the gas station that escalated into an exchange of gunfire. A 34-year-old man arrived at a local hospital shortly afterward with gunshot trauma; he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released. Detectives say both men fired weapons.

Anyone with information about the shooting at the Speedway Blvd. gas station is asked to contact investigators.
