A Tuesday afternoon in Tucson turned fatal for 23-year-old Andres Guillermo Franco. He had been in the parking lot of an apartment complex on East 29th Street preparing to head to a new job while his girlfriend, Daniela Parks, and their two young daughters, aged eight months and 23 months, waited in the car. A teenager appeared and opened fire; Franco was shot multiple times and later died at a nearby hospital.

Witnesses told police an argument occurred before the shooting, but family representatives said there was no confrontation and that Franco was ambushed as he walked toward the vehicle, with final shots striking him as he tried to shield the children. The suspect, identified as 16-year-old Gabriel Alejandro Pichardo, fled on foot. After a search involving a K-9 unit and a police aircraft, police arrested Pichardo two days later on November 4, 2021, and charged him with one count of first-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about the shooting, or did anyone see the suspect or events in the East 29th Street parking area that day?
