UPDATE: New photos have just been released of a man identified as a “person of interest” in a Tucson shooting that critically injured two workers. The shooting occurred around 9:30 a.m. on Friday at a Goodwill donation center located in the 7600 block of East Valencia Road, near South Los Reales Road, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Authorities report that both victims are currently in critical condition at a local hospital. While their identities have not been confirmed by law enforcement, social media posts have identified one of the injured as Juan Cristobal Flores, a University of Arizona student and part-time employee at the donation center. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched, stating, “Juan Cristobal has spent his life lifting others through music. Now, he needs our voices, our prayers, and our help.”
The Catalina United Methodist Church, where Flores has been a cherished member for over a decade, expressed their shock and sadness via a statement on Facebook. They highlighted his contributions to the church’s choir and his profound impact on the community, stating, “Juan is known among us as kind, gentle, caring, and profoundly gifted.”
Investigators are actively searching for the suspect, releasing several images of a man alongside a stolen vehicle—a white 2012 Volvo XC 90 with Arizona license plate number C4A8Z4. Authorities warn the public not to approach the individual or the vehicle. The suspect is described as being approximately six feet tall and weighing around 200 pounds.
As the investigation continues, community members are urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the suspect or the vehicle to law enforcement. This developing story highlights the urgent need for information as the community rallies around the injured victims, particularly Flores, in this tragic incident.
Stay tuned for updates as authorities work to resolve this case and bring justice to those affected.
