On the morning of October 30, 2021, a shooting in a Tucson apartment complex in the 2500 block of North Dodge Boulevard near Flower Street left 26-year-old Gary Marcel Melton with fatal gunshot wounds. Officers arrived after a report at about 10 a.m.; Melton was treated at the scene but pronounced dead.

Detectives identified 33-year-old David Benjamin Bell as the suspect and obtained a felony warrant charging him with second-degree murder. Bell was later located at an apartment complex near Alvernon Way and Grant Road, taken into custody without resistance, and booked into the Pima County Jail.

The shooting was one of at least two fatal incidents during a violent Halloween weekend in Tucson. If anyone has information about Gary Marcel Melton or the events that led to his death, please share what is known with Tucson Police.
