In the early morning hours of November 1, 2017, a Tucson neighborhood was disrupted by a vehicle left running in the roadway. Officers responding about 12:20 a.m. to a suspicious car in the 1000 block of West Colorado Street, near St. Mary’s and Grande, found 43-year-old Jose Ramon Lopez in the passenger seat. He had sustained gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the Tucson Police Department continues to list the death as an unsolved homicide. Jose was a father and grandfather who worked as an artist and tattooer. His family remembers him as protective, funny, and talented at drawing and tattooing, and recalls a recent emotional moment he shared with his sister listening to music.

Does anyone who lived near West Colorado Street on November 1, 2017, or who knew Jose, have information that could help investigators?
