Neighbor Kills Neighbor

Police said Tereso left a famous nightclub in downtown Tucson with two associates. They pulled into a mobile home park, and at least two other vehicles followed them into the lot, TPD said. A suspect approached their vehicle and began firing into it where Tereso was sitting.

Tereso ran from the vehicle, but the shooter chased him down and shot multiple times said police. The suspect then fled from the scene, TPD said. The other occupants in the vehicle with Tereso were not incapacitated.

An anonymous resident at the Desert Breeze Mobile Home Park tells Tucson News Now he heard, “Fight for your life. Fight for your life. Fight for your life.”

It was an unanticipated wake-up call for this neighbor at the mobile home park. He spent part of his day cleaning up what remains of the crime scene after police cleared the zone. It was the screams of those affected by the morning homicide that stick with him.

“It was really scary. Hearing people yelling and crying for a person that was laying on the floor.”

The anonymous neighbor says crime is common in the area, but nothing has happened recently for this particular park.

“Nothing like this has happened here for a while. This is the first one that has happened in years.”

No suspects are in custody at this time. Sgt. Peter Dugan, Public Information Officer for TPD says if anyone has information, they should call 88-CRIME. They can choose to stay unidentified.
