On the afternoon of December 30, 2020, 32-year-old Justin Gervon Chavis was shot inside a laundromat in the 7400 block of East 22nd Street in Tucson. Calls about gunfire came in around 3:00 p.m.; bystanders and responding Tucson police and Fire personnel attempted to render aid before Chavis was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Investigators say Chavis had gone to the shopping center intending to conduct a drug deal with two other men. On December 31, police located and arrested 19-year-old Darrel Dequann Ingram on Tucson’s East Side; a second 19-year-old, Herald Phillip Lauterio, was later taken into custody. Both were charged with Murder, Aggravated Robbery, and Armed Robbery. Detectives were also seeking to identify a possible third suspect.

If anyone was at the laundromat that afternoon or has information about the alleged drug deal or a possible third person involved, please share what is known.
