An SUV seen fleeing the deadly shooting Wednesday morning of a Tucson police recruit has been found on the city's southeast side.
Investigators had been looking for the vehicle since shortly after the fatal shooting of Carlos Ramirez, a former corrections officer for Pima County who was days away from completing the academy to join the Tucson Police Department.
Ramirez, 23, was shot and killed about 6 a.m. Wednesday in the home he shared with his fiancee, a 23-year-old Pima County corrections officer, who was shot and wounded. The couple shared a home in a Star Valley area neighborhood on Tucson's far southwest side, and their child was in the home at the time of the shooting.
The alleged getaway car, a gray Acura MDX SUV captured on surveillance cameras, was found Thursday in a parking lot near South Palo Verde Road and East 33rd Street, south of East 29th Street, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Thursday in a news release.
