Police in Tucson, Arizona, are investigating a shooting outside a gay bar that left three people dead, including the suspected shooter, as a possible hate crime.
Police said Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, and Cameron Davis Capara, 33, were shot in the parking lot of Venture-N shortly after midnight Monday. Both men died at the scene.
The suspected shooter, identified as 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay, also suffered a gunshot wound and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Authorities have not yet released details about how Ceesay was shot.
Investigators said Ceesay was carrying a note listing several businesses associated with the LGBTQ+ community. Initial evidence indicates he confronted the two victims in the parking lot before shooting them.

Tucson Police Chief Monica Prieto said investigators are examining evidence and pursuing leads to determine the full circumstances surrounding the shooting and whether it was motivated by bias.
