HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION
900 BLOCK OF SOUTH WARREN AVENUE |
|
|
On August 23, 2025, around 11:45 p.m., officers from Operations Division Midtown responded to reports of a shooting in the 900 block of South Warren Avenue. Upon arrival, officers were directed east into a nearby wash, where they located the victim, 56-year-old Matthew Erik Simmerman, with gunshot trauma. Despite life-saving efforts by both police and Tucson Fire Department medics, Mr. Simmerman was pronounced deceased at the scene. Homicide detectives were briefed and took over the investigation.
Early findings indicate that Mr. Simmerman had been living in the wash with a female companion when a suspect approached him on foot and shot him. Detectives processed the area near the encampment for evidence. The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are asking anyone with information to come forward and contact 88-CRIME. You can remain anonymous.
