Jessica Garcia, 36, died after being shot during a traffic crash in Tucson on July 1, 2022. She was a passenger in a Dodge truck driven by her boyfriend, 45-year-old Joseph Brandon Gourley. Their vehicle collided with a Kia Soul at East 5th Street and North Wilmot Road. Witnesses said Gourley exited the truck after the collision and, before fleeing on foot, shot Garcia.

Officers found Garcia unresponsive in the truck with gunshot wounds; she was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival. Occupants of the Kia Soul suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were also hospitalized. Police located Gourley in a nearby yard, took him into custody, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder following a homicide investigation that included interviews and evidence collection.

Does anyone have information about the crash or the moments after it that could help clarify what happened?
