A neighborhood house party in Tucson ended in gunfire in the early hours of February 5, 2023. Nineteen-year-old Eduardo Salazar was killed when shots rang out near Alvernon Way and Valencia Road; three other boys, all 16, were wounded and taken to a local hospital. Neighbors said loud music preceded the shooting, and officers arriving about 3:15 a.m. found Eduardo Salazar deceased at the scene.

Police later pursued an investigation that resulted in an arrest. On May 3, 2023, 15-year-old Fabian Velarde was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and three counts of attempted murder; reports say he was on release for prior weapons violations when arrested for this case.

Anyone who was at the party or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
