A man was found with a fatal gunshot wound on Friday morning at a west Phoenix bus stop, and police are asking the public for help in finding a killer.

Someone called police at about 7:30 a.m. Friday to report a seriously injured person at a bus stop near 51st Avenue and Osborn Road, according to Officer James Holmes, a Phoenix police spokesman.

Police arrived and found 50-year-old Jeff Twiss on the ground and seriously injured from a gunshot wound, Holmes said. Twiss was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators believe someone shot Twiss between sometime Thursday evening and when he was discovered on Friday morning, Holmes said. Detectives have not established a motive, he said.

Police said they have little evidence to work with on this case and are asking anyone near 51st Avenue and Osborn Road on Thursday or Friday who may have information about the shooting to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or the Phoenix Police Department Violent Crimes Bureau at (602) 262-6141.
