Elias Cordova, a 32-year-old male of Native American descent and a proud member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, was a loving father and an active member of his community in Tucson, Arizona. His life was tragically cut short on the night of Friday, October 7, 2022, when he was killed by gunfire.
Elias, affectionately known as 'Weebo,' was a devoted family man. He was the loving partner of his fiancée, Carina Morando, and a dedicated father to his five children: Mya, Bella, Mila, Xo, and Jedi.
He was deeply involved in their lives, from coaching his daughters' football team to simply spending quality time with them. His family described him as a caring and hard-working man who always put them first. Beyond his immediate family, Elias was a cherished son to Daniel and Martha Cordova, and a beloved brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many.
In his community, Elias was known for his commitment to helping others. For 18 years, he served as a board member for the non-profit organization 'Southwest Athletics,' where he mentored youth through coaching and team sports. He was a roofer by trade and had been employed with Spencer Roofing for over nine years. His interests included playing a variety of sports such as basketball, football, and baseball, as well as online gaming with friends. He was deeply connected to his Pascua-Yaqui heritage and actively participated in tribal traditions.
The loss of Elias has left a profound void in the lives of his loved ones and the wider Tucson community. At this time, there is no publicly available information regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with his death. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
