Efrain Luna Jr. was 42 when he was shot and killed on the west side of Tucson on the evening of July 2, 2024. The shooting took place in the 1700 block of West Ajo Way, just east of South Mission Road; initial reports that named Phoenix were incorrect. Officers responding around 7 p.m. found Luna in a wash north of Ajo Way, near a shopping center. He had suffered gunshot wounds; Tucson Fire Department medics rendered aid but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives opened an immediate investigation and are asking the public for information. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Funeral services for Luna were held in Phoenix later in July. If anyone has information about what happened that evening, please contact Tucson Police.
