On the evening of March 8, 2018, 18-year-old Yocelyn Ozuna Ortega was found dead from apparent gunshot trauma inside a home on the 400 block of East Teton Road in Tucson. Officers responded to a call just before 10:00 p.m.; Yocelyn was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Police investigators focused on Yocelyn’s 27-year-old boyfriend, Jose Islas-Garcia, who lived with her. Detectives say the couple had argued earlier that day and that there was a history of domestic violence in the household. Jose’s mother, who lived next door, went to check on Yocelyn after seeing her son leave the shared residence alone and found Yocelyn unresponsive in a bedroom.

Authorities obtained a felony arrest warrant charging Jose Islas-Garcia with first-degree murder. He was believed to have fled to Mexico but surrendered to authorities at the border the next morning and was booked into the Santa Cruz County Jail.

Did anyone in Tucson know Yocelyn or have information about what happened that night?
