Tucson police are investigating a homicide after a juvenile was found dead from a gunshot wound inside a vehicle that crashed Saturday night in the city's Midtown area.
Officers were called to the 1800 block of North Bell Avenue just before 8 p.m. on Nov. 14 for a report of a single-vehicle crash, according to KOLD (13 News) and KGUN 9.
On arrival, officers found a juvenile in the driver's seat with a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The department's homicide detectives are handling the case, and the investigation remains active. Police released no additional details about the crash or the shooting.
It was the second homicide in Tucson on Saturday. Earlier that morning, around 7 a.m., a man died after a reported fight involving weapons at the Ronstadt Transit Center in downtown Tucson, police said. Detectives are also investigating that incident.
