A man fatally shot in a midtown residence Monday was identified as 33-year-old Greg Ridgley, police said.
On Aug. 21 about 4:30 a.m., officers responded to the 4400 block of East 28th Street to a request by Tucson Fire Department paramedics for assistance, said Sgt. Kimberly Bay, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.
The area is near East 29th Street between South Columbus Boulevard and South Swan Road.
Firefighters told police that there was a possible shooting victim at the residence. Officers arrived first and found a man inside the residence with gunshot trauma, said Bay.
Officers rendered aid and summoned paramedics who continued treating the man. He was taken to Banner-University Medical Center Tucson where he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival, Bay said.
