Tucson, Arizona gay bar shooting probed as hate crime; 3 dead, including shooter

TUCSON, Arizona — Police in Arizona say a shooting at a Tucson gay bar that left three people dead, including the shooter, is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, and Cameron Davis Capara, 33, were shot in the parking lot of Venture-N shortly after midnight Monday, and both died at the scene, the Tucson Police Department said.

The suspect, Ousman Ceesay, 44, was pronounced dead at a local hospital, according to the department.

Ceesay was carrying a note that listed several LGBTQIA+-associated businesses, according to a police news release, and initial evidence suggests Ceesay confronted the two victims in the parking lot before shooting them both.
