SHOOTING IN LOCAL TUCSON GAY BAR BEING INVESTIGATED AS A HATE CRIME
Authorities have stated that the triple-fatal shooting in the parking lot of a gay bar in Tucson early Monday, Aug. 31, was likely a hate crime and a double murder-suicide, with the shooter dying en-route to the hospital.
The Tucson Police Department said that the suspect, 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay, was carrying a list of LGBTQ+ businesses. It is unknown whether Ceesay was planning on visiting any of these other businesses.
The TPD said it believes Ceesay went to Venture-N Bar, located near Sixth and Speedway, and got into an argument in the parking lot with 42-year-old Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and 33-year-old Cameron Davis Capara.
The TPD said Ceesay shot both Siqueiros and Capara, and both victims died at the scene. Ceesay was also injured and was transported to a local hospital, where he died.
