New body-cam, 911 calls from day of hostage situation that left baby shot in Surprise, Arizona

The Surprise Police Department released a newly edited body-camera video and 911 calls of the day a woman was held hostage by her baby’s father.

The hostage situation ended with a standoff that left the baby shot multiple times and the suspect, 51-year-old Todd Christopher Marchetti, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“My baby daddy broke in last night; he shot and killed my dog. I just ran out of the house to get help. [inaudible] and he’s going to kill,” the woman told dispatchers. “My baby is inside, and he’s going to kill my baby. In the middle of the night last night, I woke up, and he broke in. He broke in through the window.

The woman remains frantic and continues talking to dispatchers. “He brought over multiple knives and guns, and he told me that he was going to kill me. He shot-he shot and killed my dog. I convinced him to let me go outside and ask somebody [inaudible].”

The woman reportedly flagged down construction workers for help to make that call.

The newly released edited body-camera video includes the moments leading up to officers entering the home during the standoff. Multiple rounds of gunfire could be heard in the minutes leading up to entering the house.

The incident briefing, however, does show four different angles from officers as they made their way through the home, where it appears that no officers made contact with the suspect.

As Arizona’s Family previously reported, a video showing when police rescued baby Jaxson, who was later found to have been shot multiple times.

“We got the baby out,” an unidentified officer can be heard saying as they rush the child to safety. “Go. Go. Go.”

After officers rescued the baby, officers remained on stage until the fire broke out hours later. Officers later made entry and found Marchetti dead from an apparent suicide.

As of this week, the cause of the fire remains undetermined

An internal and criminal investigation remains underway. Jaxson is still recovering in the hospital, according to family sources.
