Mesa, Arizona – On May 9, 2022 after 9 p.m., the manager of a Circle K located near Gilbert Road and Southern Avenue called 911 stating that a man, identified by police as 27-year-old Omar Fernando Lugo-Osuna, threatened to kill him. When the manager told Lugo-Osuna he was calling police, he left the store on a bicycle.

On his way to the Circle K, an officer saw Lugo-Osuna near the US 60 and Gilbert Road and tried to stop him, but he refused. When the officer tried to stop him again, Lugo-Osuna allegedly jumped off his bicycle and swung a knife at the officer. In response, the officer fired his Glock duty weapon at Lugo-Osuna striking him multiple times.

Lugo-Osuna received medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries and was then booked into jail. He is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and threatening and intimidating.
