Carlos Alberto Alcaraz was 19 and from Tucson when he was fatally shot in the early hours of June 26, 2024. Two gunshot victims were brought to Banner University Medical Center South Campus just after 12:30 a.m.; Carlos’s wounds were described as life-threatening and he was later pronounced dead at the main campus that night.

Tucson homicide detectives learned the shooting occurred at a mobile home park at 5255 South Park Avenue and processed a specific mobile home for evidence.
