"The man in the sketch was found dead on July 30 in a desert lot southwest of South Park Avenue and East Irvington Road, TPD said." according to this news article. This is a slightly different description than provided by NAMUS.

General vicinity of that intersection here (Google Maps).

Based on the two different location descriptions (in NAMUS and the news article), my guess is that he was found near the entrance to the Palomino Crossing apartments shown on google maps street view here and here. You can zoom-in on the site map sign and see the name of the apartments.

Dark colored Aloha shirt with large light floral design

Similar Hawaiian shirt on Goodwill here. Tag says Jamaica Jaxx.

The man shown in the attachment with the red circle, green circle and blue square is an AI generated image. It's NOT official and it's NOT real. It's the result of uploading the artist's pencil sketch from NAMUS to Google Images (or possibly Bing). At some point AI asked me if I wanted to create some kind of realistic portrait. I chose yes. (I am not sure what I did or if I could do it again, honestly, but the results are impressive, and thanks to it, the next day, I was able to spot this shirt on Goodwill.)

Black socks with white writing "CAT" above the ankle

Easy to find CAT (Caterpillar) brand socks with gray or yellow lettering, but trickier to find CAT socks with white lettering. Here's one sample and a second sample from eBay.

In Tucson in July, you'd think they'd want a lightweight sock, not a midweight.
