On the evening of October 23, 2015, 34-year-old Andrew Brice Cole of Peoria, Arizona, was shot and killed during a domestic dispute at a residence on the southwest side of Tucson. The confrontation occurred at a home in the 7400 block of West Bopp Road, a semi-rural area west of the Tucson Mountains near Ryan Field, and began as an argument between Andrew and his brother that escalated into violence. A single handgun was fired; deputies from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched after a 911 call around 7:20 p.m. and found Andrew gravely wounded. Deputies attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the house.

The Sheriff’s Department Homicide Unit took over the investigation, secured the scene and interviewed witnesses. After questioning, Richard was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder. Online memorials note Andrew was remembered as a proud and loving father.

If anyone knew Andrew, his movements that evening, or has information about the altercation at West Bopp Road, please share what was observed or known.
