Uriel Galvez-Galvez was 30 and living in Tucson, Arizona, when he was killed by gunfire on the afternoon of August 18, 2016. He leaves a 13-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who shared his name; family and friends remembered him as kind, hardworking, and steady in his routines.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Tucson’s west side, police responded to gunfire on the 1700 block of West 36th Street. Officers learned that Galvez-Galvez and another man had been riding in a Dodge Ram when they picked up a third man, who reportedly opened fire inside the vehicle. The surviving passenger escaped injured and hid while the gunman drove off with Galvez-Galvez still inside. Galvez-Galvez was later found dead; police classified his death as a homicide.

Detectives released a suspect description from the survivor: a man in his late twenties, about 5 feet 11 inches and 170 to 180 pounds, with multiple arm tattoos, last seen wearing a white shirt and tan pants. If anyone knew the man who got into that Dodge Ram or saw the truck that day, please come forward with information.
