TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A motorcyclist was killed in a wreck on Kino Parkway over the weekend.
According to a news release from the Tucson Police Department, just after 10 p.m. on May 14, officers responded to reports of a serious injury collision involving a motorcycle and another vehicle.
When officers arrived, they located the motorcycle rider and rendered aid. Shortly after, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
TPD identified the man as 21-year-old Mahmoud Soufiani Morabet.
