This incident began in the area of 83rd Avenue and McDowell Road when Phoenix Police officers responded to a fight call. The caller was following someone in a car that they knew, who had been harassing the caller's family member.

The caller later said they were worried the man driving the car had a gun.

Officers located the vehicle described by the caller and attempted a traffic stop. The driver failed to stop and accelerated at a high rate of speed. Officers did not pursue the vehicle and lost sight of it.

Officers circulated the area where the car was last seen. An officer spotted the SUV parked in front of a house near 83rd Avenue and Osborn Road. The driver's side door of the car was open, but no one was inside.

As the officer approached the house, he heard a gunshot.

Shortly after the gunshot, people inside the home came outside and talked to the officer. They told him a man was in their backyard and had fired a gun at one of them.

Additional officers arrived and began to surround the house. One of the officers saw the suspect in the backyard of the home. The man was observed walking towards officers with a gun in his hand. The man raised the gun, at which time one officer fired his rifle.

Evidence found at the scene shows the suspect fired his gun during the confrontation with officers.

Following the shooting, an Arwen 37mm launcher was used to safely approach the man.

An Arwen is a 37mm launcher that fires a less-lethal direct impact baton which is designed to deliver pain compliance. This tool is only used by members of the Tactical Support Bureau.

The man did not survive his injuries and died on scene.

A handgun was recovered next to where the man was found.
