Jacob Edward Luna was 23 when he was fatally shot in Tucson in the early morning hours of December 12, 2017. Just before 1:00 a.m., officers responding to the 700 block of East Pastime Road — near North First Avenue and East Prince Road — found Luna inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a small apartment complex with obvious gunshot trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Tucson Police Department opened an investigation; detectives from the Gang Unit were assigned because Luna was known to have affiliations with local gangs. Investigators processed the scene, collected evidence and spoke with potential witnesses in an area described as having a history of suspicious activity. At the time of the initial reports, no suspects had been identified or taken into custody and the investigation was ongoing.

If anyone witnessed activity in the East Pastime Road area around 1:00 a.m. on December 12, 2017, or has information about Jacob Luna’s death, please come forward.
