Shooting Outside Gay Bar in Arizona Leaves Antifa Militant Dead as Incident is Investigated as Possible Hate Crime

On Monday night, a gunman opened fire in the parking lot of Venture-N, a gay bar in Tucson, Arizona, around 12:30 a.m. Two men were killed in the attack. The two victims, Antifa associate  Cameron Davis Capara, 33, and Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced dead shortly after.

Tucson police have now identified 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay as the shooter, and the incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

Reports say Ceesay was born in The Gambia, where about 95% of Gambians are Muslim, but his background has not been confirmed.

Neither the police nor the press has provided a photo of Ceesay or shared details of his background.

Police say he had a note listing other LGBTQ-associated businesses, had no known connection to the victims, and that the search of his residence turned up another note indicating he acted alone and targeted people out of hatred toward the LGBTQ community.

TPD shared in a press release:

On August 31, 2026, at approximately 12:30 a.m., officers from Operations Division West, along with members from the Tucson Fire Department, responded to a business at 1239 North 6th Avenue regarding reports of a shooting. Officers located a total of three adult males with gunshot trauma. Two of the males were pronounced deceased at the scene.

The third male, who is believed to be the shooter, was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced deceased shortly after arriving at the hospital. He has been identified as 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay.

The two deceased male victims at the scene have been identified as 42-year-old Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, and 33-year-old Cameron Davis Capara. Their next of kins have been notified of their passing. Detectives from the Homicide Unit, the Robbery Assault Unit, and the Crime Scene Unit responded to continue this investigation.

Initial evidence suggests that the suspect confronted the victims in the parking lot of the business. After confronting Mr. Siqueiros and Mr. Capara, the suspect shot them. There is no known active threat to the community. The suspect was in possession of a note with several LGBTQIA+ associated businesses written on it. The Tucson Police Department is currently investigating this homicide as a hate crime. The investigation remains active and ongoing.

Chief of Police Monica Prieto added, “I am deeply saddened that another senseless loss of life has happened in our community. Bias-based crimes are especially heinous and have no place in our community. Our investigators are thoroughly examining the evidence and pursuing all available leads as they work to establish the full circumstances surrounding this tragic incident. At this time, we have no indication that there is any further ongoing threat to the public.”

Three days ago a gunman opened fire outside Venture-N, a Tucson gay bar. Two men dead. The shooter dead. Police now call it a targeted hate crime. He had a list of LGBTQ businesses on him.
