A social gathering near the University of Arizona in Tucson turned deadly on the evening of January 29, 2024, when 21-year-old Jeremy Garcia was shot in the 1200 block of East 10th Street. Emergency responders from the Tucson Police and Fire Departments performed life-saving measures but Jeremy was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jeremy, born April 17, 2002, in Tucson, worked at Amazon and hoped to move up in the company. He enjoyed designing clothing—aspiring to start his own brand—spending time with his cat Listo, riding his bicycle, and playing video games. He is survived by his parents, Tania Maritza Carrazco and Jorge Angel Garcia, and his sister Cheyenne Garcia; he was preceded in death by his brother Jorge Isaias Garcia.

Homicide detectives investigated and arrested 21-year-old Nathaniel Astorga on suspicion of second-degree homicide; investigators report the men had been drinking and playing blackjack before the shooting. Specific circumstances that led to the fatal shot have not been released. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
