The Phoenix Police Department released video footage showing a deadly Apr. 3, 2021 officer-involved-shooting incident in which an armed suspect was shot and killed by a police officer.
According to the report, officers responded to multiple calls of a man pointing a gun at people and attempting to rob them. When the officers arrived on the scene, they quickly identified the suspect as he was pointing a gun at a family sitting in their vehicle.
Officers commanded the man to drop his weapon and he quickly fled into a nearby restaurant where security camera footage shows him assaulting business patrons. As the officers entered the restaurant, they ordered the suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Jose Arenas, to drop his weapon. Instead he pointed his weapon at the officer, who in turn fired multiple shots at and into the suspect. Arenas was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
