A man found in the parking lot behind a university-area convenience store early Tuesday morning has been identified, according to university police.
The body of Fausto Enrique Sesma, a 23-year-old Mexican national from Sonora, Mexico was found at approximately 6:15 a.m. Tuesday, in the parking lot near 7-Eleven, 1774 E. Speedway Blvd.
A UA employee found the body on his way to work. After he found Sesma in a parked car bleeding, he immediately called UAPD who responded to the scene along with Tucson Fire Department where Sesma was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sesma did not have any affiliation with the university. The case remains open and under investigation. At the time of publication, UAPD had not released the police report about the incident, but said the investigation is still ongoing.
"I heard the cops say it was made to look like a suicide, but it wasn't," said Brian Peary, an economics senior who works at the store.
Peary said he also heard Sesma was alive when the police found him.
"It's pretty weird," he said. "You just don't find dead bodies on the U of A campus."
Peary said he is concerned about what happened, but added that 7-Eleven has not given any advice to its employees about taking extra safety precautions.
UAPD could not be reached for comment.
