In the early morning hours of April 6, 2018, gunfire was reported near West 20th Street and South Farmington Road on Tucson’s southwest side. Officers found 36-year-old Roberto Varela inside his maroon 2007 Hyundai coupe with obvious gunshot trauma. He was transported to Banner University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and died there on April 8, 2018.

Detectives say a black coupe was seen leaving the area shortly after the shots, but neither that vehicle nor any suspects have been identified. The motive for the shooting remains unknown and the killer is still at large.

If anyone has information about who was in the black coupe or anything related to Varela’s shooting, please share what you know with the Tucson Police Department.
