Bodycam Shows Officer Shoot at Suspect on AZ Freeway Accused of Violent Carjacking

In a turn of events, new body camera footage has been released by the Phoenix police, showcasing the intense moments when an officer fired his gun at a suspect in the midst of a violent crime spree on a busy Valley freeway. The incident, which occurred just a few weeks ago, began on Hwy. 51 when the suspect, Carlos Delfin, attempted to carjack another vehicle. As the police officer confronts Delfin, ordering him to drop his weapon, shots are fired, prompting the suspect to flee along the freeway.

However, Delfin's escape is short-lived, as he manages to carjack a truck and officers continue to fire multiple rounds at him. Remarkably, a police helicopter closely followed the suspect's movements, leading them to take him into custody near 10th Ave. and Dobbins Rd. Delphine is now facing a staggering 22 felony charges in connection to this crime spree.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face daily while protecting our communities. The body camera footage highlights the split-second decisions they must make and the risks they take to ensure public safety. Thankfully, their quick response and coordinated efforts led to the apprehension of a dangerous individual, preventing further harm to innocent bystanders
