TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Tucson Police Department has identified a young man killed during a shooting early Sunday morning.

Officers confirm the 18-year-old's identity as Nathan Callahan.

According to police, the shooting happened during a "large gathering" at the Reserve at Star Pass apartments at 41 S. Shannon Rd.

Public Information Officer Richard Gradillas says bystanders and police tried saving Callahan, but couldn't.

Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene.

Gradillas adds police found Callahan's friend involved in the shooting. The friend had gunshot wounds, but was treated for "non-life-threatening injuries."

Detectives believe Callahan got into a fight with a group of men. Those men then began beating him.

Apparently, Callahan's friend pulled him away from the fight. Then, an unknown man walked up to the two and began fighting.

That's when shots were fired.

The TPD is asking anyone with information to please call 911 of 88-CRIME. Callers may remain anonymous.
