Gabriel Olivas Orduno, 32, was found dead in a desert area near Tucson International Airport on Friday, February 11, 2022. The body was located just west of South Country Club Road and East Old Vail Road. Tucson Police Department and Tucson Airport Authority Police Department responded and investigators later classified his death as a homicide caused by gun violence.

Authorities appealed to the public for information about the shooting. On March 7, 2022, police announced they had identified a suspect and obtained a felony warrant for first-degree murder for 22-year-old Alfonso Ibanez-Encinas; investigators with a U.S. Marshals-led Fugitive Task Force later found and arrested him at a residence on Tucson’s south side near West Valencia Road and South Sixth Avenue.

If anyone knew Gabriel, saw him in the area that week, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
