Rachel Rebecca Crowe, 29, was fatally shot outside a residence in rural Pima County on the northwest side of Tucson on the evening of October 23, 2021. The shooting happened near South Sandario Road and West Castle Drive in the 12000 block of West High Ridge Drive, where deputies documented a violent encounter that left Crowe with gunshot wounds outside the home. She was taken to a Tucson-area hospital and later died of her injuries.

The homeowner, 71-year-old Raymond Edward Lucas, called 911 around 7:15 p.m. to report multiple people trying to break into his house and told the dispatcher he was going to get his firearm; gunfire was heard on the call. Deputies contacted Lucas at the scene and searched the property; no other suspects were located that night and no immediate arrest was made. The case was classified as a homicide and entered into gun-violence and cold-case tracking databases while investigators collected statements and evidence to reconstruct what happened.

If anyone knew Rachel Crowe or has information about the events that night, please share what is known with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
