A gathering in a desert area on Tucson’s south side turned deadly in the early morning of November 1, 2020. Around 6 a.m. in the 2500 block of East Aerospace Parkway, a dispute between two groups at a crowd of roughly 50 people escalated into gunfire. Officers who were already nearby after reports of shots were flagged down and found 23-year-old Hispanic male Isidro Fernando Hernandez-Ortiz and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds.

Hernandez-Ortiz was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were also shot and taken to hospital—one of them, 21-year-old Oscar Daniel Dicochea, later died at the hospital. The woman and the fourth victim survived with injuries not considered life-threatening. Many people present fled before officers could interview them.

The Tucson Police Department continues to investigate the double homicide. No arrests have been announced; authorities have asked anyone with information to come forward. If anyone was at that gathering or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
