A Tucson family said it was their son who was shot and killed by DPS in Arivaca.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Limon family in Tucson said their 18-year-old son was the driver who was shot by a Department of Public Safety trooper in Arivaca on Sunday. The Limons tell KGUN9, Mark Limon, was a senior at Pima JTED.
DPS said there were eight people in the car and that “initial investigation indicates the suspect was involved in human smuggling.” Perla and Domingo Limon, Mark’s parents, told KGUN 9 it was the girlfriend of a passenger in the car who broke the news to them. “Caring, loving, happy. Always happy—smiling, laughing,” said Domingo. These are just some of the words the family used to describe their son.“Why did they shoot him? Why would you shoot through the back? Why didn’t they go talk to the driver instead of coming shooting them from the back?” said Domingo.
