On the evening of March 6, 2021, a heated argument at an apartment complex in Tucson escalated into a fatal shooting that left 35-year-old Anthony Watkins dead. Officers responded to the rear of the complex at 7450 E. 22nd St. around 10:00 p.m. and found Watkins suffering from gunshot trauma; he was pronounced dead at the scene after efforts by officers and Tucson Fire Medics.

A 16-year-old male, Lashaun Jayvion White, placed a 911 call shortly after the shooting and was located and detained nearby. Detectives say White and Watkins knew each other; the argument reportedly became physical, a handgun was produced, and Watkins was shot. White was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and held in the Pima County Jail.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw the argument or the events at the rear of the complex who can help fill in what happened?
