A Tucson man died Friday in a parking lot on University Boulevard in Tucson after an attempted robbery ended in a fatal shooting, according to police.
Tucson officers responded to reports of a shooting near 7th Street and East University Boulevard at 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Witnesses reported a man, later identified as 20-year-old Jesus Romero, was suffering obvious gunshot wounds in his car, according to police.
Homicide detectives later learned the shooting happened as the result of an attempted robbery. Romero and Makenzy Jaman, a woman who was with Romero at the time of his death, reportedly collaborated to set up a deal with another adult man during which they planned to rob him at a local park, according to Sgt. David Fritsch, a TPD spokesperson.
The unidentified man fled the scene before police arrival while Romero and Jaman left the park in a car before colliding with a curb and stopping in the parking lot of 7 E. University Boulevard, according to police.
