Oro Valley, AZ - A gun-wielding man shot and killed by Oro Valley Police Department officers on April 28 fired shots at an officer, and “brought his hands together in a manner perceived as an imminent threat,” according to a release.

Alfred Lopez-Minor, 31, did not comply with multiple commands to drop his weapon at Tohono Chul Botanical Gardens. When he raised the gun toward officers, “OVPD officers discharged their department-issued firearms,” striking Lopez-Minor multiple times, the release stated.

When the scene was rendered safe, officers immediately initiated life-saving measures. “Despite these efforts, Mr. Lopez-Minor was pronounced deceased at the scene,” according to the release. “A semiautomatic handgun was recovered in close proximity to him.”

The incident began just before 7 p.m. on April 28, when OVPD officers responded to a report of gunshots at Tohono Chul, located at 7366 North Paseo Del Norte just north of Ina Road and west of Oracle Road.

The first responding officer found the park’s main gate closed and secured upon arrival. He parked outside the gate and entered the property on foot. During an initial assessment, the officer discovered a pickup truck with its windows shattered near the Garden Bistro, a subleased restaurant space within Tohono Chul that employed Lopez-Minor for a period of time into December. Investigators have not said who owns the truck.

“As the officer approached the vehicle to investigate further, multiple gunshots were fired in his direction,” the release said.

Additional OVPD officers arrived and began securing the area. Shortly thereafter, Lopez-Minor, armed with a handgun, exited the east side of a building.
