* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Phoenix, Arizona — On Tuesday, March 14, 2023, Phoenix police officers were dispatched to a family fight at a nearby home in the area of 67th Avenue and Camelback Road. Multiple calls were made from the home requesting police. During the last call, the caller stated that her brother was armed with both a gun and knife and was threatening to hurt others at the house. Just after officers arrived, they heard several gunshots nearby. It was learned the gunshots were from a shooting near a convenience store. The employees of this business called 911 to report the incident. Officers converged on the convenience store and learned that a man matching the description from the family fight was the person who shot a man at the business.

Employees indicated the man ran in the direction of 67th Avenue and Mariposa Street. With the assistance of the Phoenix police helicopter, a man matching the description of both incidents was seen on Mariposa Street. The man had a handgun and was repeatedly pointing the gun to his head. Officers gave commands to the man to drop the gun. The man made a motion with the gun in the officers’ direction. That is when two officers discharged their weapons. The man then walked out of sight. Officers caught up with the man and with the assistance of a less lethal Taser deployment, the man was arrested. The man was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. He was not injured due to the officer involved shooting.

Once he was released from medical care, he was booked into jail on multiple charges stemming from the original family fight, the shooting at the convenience store and the officer involved shooting. The man who was shot during the incident at the convenience store was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released. The knife described by the caller regarding the family fight was located outside of the home where the original call was placed. The firearm and magazine that the man had was recovered near the scene of the officer involved shooting. Both officers involved in this incident are assigned to the Maryvale Estrella Mountain Precinct. One officer has 6 years of service with the department while the other has approximately three-and-a-half years of service.
