The Tucson Police Department is actively investigating a fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jacob Edward Luna, that occurred early Tuesday morning on Tucson’s West Side.
On December 12, 2017, at approximately 12:45 a.m., Tucson Police officers responded to the 700 block of East Pastime Road for multiple reports of shots being fired in the area. Upon arrival, officers located a victim with obvious signs of gunshot trauma sitting inside of a parked vehicle. Officers removed the victim and began rendering aid. Tucson Fire then took over medical treatment, however, the victim was pronounced deceased on scene shortly after their arrival.
Due to the fact that the victim has gang affiliations, detectives with the Tucson Police Gang Unit responded to continue the investigation. Detectives spoke with witnesses and collected evidence at the scene, but at this time, there are no suspects in custody. Although the Gang Unit is investigating the case, it is still uncertain if the shooting itself was gang related.
As detectives continue to investigate leads, they are asking anyone with information to please call 911 or 88-CRIME. You can remain anonymous.
