A police official said they found a body after an early morning shootout during a home invasion. The body, found miles away from the scene on a Tucson street, and might be one of the robbery suspects.

After reports of gunfire, deputies were called about 4:20 a.m. to a home in the 2200 block of West Oregon Street, near South Mission and West Drexel roads. They responded quickly, arriving to a pretty grisly scene.

Residents told deputies that the robbers busted into the home. After claiming to be police officers, they began to shoot back. After exchanging multiple shots, the men escaped in a white four-door vehicle with unknown direction. Police claim to have no suspects as of now. However, they’re working on their investigation. After all, policework takes a fair amount of time. It’s a good idea for us Tucsonians to wait for a while.

Body Called in After Robbery

While deputies were organizing interviews at the original call, at 5:30 a.m. they received a report of a body found in a cul-de-sac a few miles away, in the 3100 block of West Calle Cisne, Gress said. The body was found near South Cardinal Avenue and West Los Reales Road and had wounded by one gunshot. The officers determined that it might be one of the robbery suspects, given the body’s location and the gunshot wounds on his body.

Gress said, ” this was a very active investigation with a possible murder.” And it’s uncertain how many people were in the home at the time of the robbery. We really don’t know very much about the incident at this time. However, we expect to hear more back soon as the investigation unfolds and, hopefully, the police file charges. We don’t want violent criminals on the streets of Tucson, after all!
