David Scott Anderson, 30, was shot and killed on May 1, 2021, in the 1100 block of East Waverly Street in Tucson, Arizona. The Tucson Police Department responded to the scene and opened a homicide investigation after the May day shooting.

Anderson was a University of Arizona graduate, Magna Cum Laude, who went on to earn a Master’s Degree with honors. He taught at Sahuaro High School for two years before returning to study Computer Science and had been offered an internship with American Express scheduled to begin in June 2021. He tutored children, volunteered teaching English to immigrants during the pandemic, was a published author, and held a Blue Belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

Within days of the killing, an 18-year-old named Maurice Diaz-Casales was arrested after a police pursuit involving the victim’s four-door sedan and was charged with first-degree murder in Anderson’s death. If anyone knew David, his routines, or saw anything around East Waverly Street on May 1, information could be helpful to the investigation.
