On the late afternoon of February 7, 2020, 23-year-old Julian Holmes was shot outside an apartment at the 1700 block of South Craycroft Road on Tucson’s east side. Julian, who was born in New Britain, Connecticut and enjoyed music, was associated with the complex though he did not live there. After suffering multiple gunshot wounds he knocked on a resident’s door asking for help; that resident called 911. Tucson police arrived about 4:00 p.m. and found Julian conscious. He was taken by Tucson Fire Department crews to Banner University Medical Center but died shortly after arrival.

Detectives say the shooting happened just outside one of the apartments. No suspects or arrests were reported in the initial investigation and the case remained open as investigators appealed for information. Julian left behind a daughter and a grieving family. If anyone who lived in or near the complex that afternoon has information or saw anything, please share what you know.
