Jose Flores, reported as Jose Carlos Valdez Flores, was a 60-year-old man living in the Catalina area north of Tucson. On the morning of June 4, 2021, a neighbor dispute escalated into gunfire near Coronado Sunset Drive and Coronado View Road. Deputies were initially flagged down by two adult men with non-life-threatening gunshot injuries; those men had left the immediate scene and were being treated roadside.

When deputies entered the residence where shots were reported, they found an older man later identified as 72-year-old neighbor Benjamin Jacinto. Deputies withdrew after hearing multiple gunshots and established a perimeter. Outside they discovered Flores fatally shot; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Robot footage later showed Jacinto dead inside from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators described the attack as the culmination of a long-simmering neighbor feud. No arrests were made since the only identified suspect died at the scene.

If anyone knew Jose Flores, lived in Catalina at the time, or has information about the neighborhood dispute, please share what is known.
