Alejandra Valles Valenzuela was 36 when she was shot and killed on January 20, 2022, in the 1100 block of East Irvington Road in Tucson. Police found her deceased at the scene; her boyfriend was also shot but survived and was taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Authorities described the event as a confrontation that escalated into violence.

Weeks of investigation and a family plea for answers followed. The Tucson Police Department ultimately identified 31-year-old Emilio Casimiro Lopez as a suspect. Lopez was located on February 23, 2022, after reports of trespassing; a K9 unit was involved in his capture and he sustained minor injuries requiring treatment. He was booked into the Pima County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault and held on $500,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about the confrontation that night or saw anything in the area of East Irvington Road on January 20, 2022?
