Hate Crime Probe Opened After 2 People Killed Outside Arizona Gay Bar
- Early Monday, Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, and Cameron Davis Capara, 33, were killed in the parking lot of Venture-N Bar in Tucson, Arizona, with police investigating the homicide as a hate crime.
- Police discovered the suspect, 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay, carried a list of LGBTQ+ businesses; evidence suggests he confronted the victims in the parking lot before shooting them both.
- On Tuesday, flowers and candles marked a growing memorial for Siqueiros and Capara outside the bar, while Tucson Queerstory and the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation planned a candlelight vigil for Wednesday night.
- Tucson Mayor Regina Romero called the shooting a "direct and devastating attack on our LGBTQ+ community," while Chief of Police Monica Prieto stated bias-based crimes have "no place in our community."
- The attack left community members shaken, stirring memories of the 2022 Colorado Springs shooting that killed five people, as police increased presence around LGBTQ-friendly businesses in the region.
