Avondale, Arizona — On February 21, 2023, around 12:30 p.m. police were called to a Family Dollar store near Dysart Road and Riley Drive for a reported shoplifting. A description of the man was given to police. Employees told officers that the same person had shoplifted from the store twice that day. Police said that a man matching the description was seen by an officer at the Agua Fria River bottom near 10th Street and Riley Drive. After activating his body camera, the video shows the officer approaching the suspect and telling him to keep his hands where he can see them. Police say the officer saw what appeared to be a “sharp tool” in the suspect’s waistband. He then attempts to put the suspect in handcuffs, getting one of the cuffs around his left hand before a struggle ensues.

The body cam is obscured during the first few seconds before showing the officer on his back on the ground and the suspect standing over him. According to police, he was trying to choke the officer and attempted to reach for his duty weapon, which was still holstered. The officer was able to press the emergency button on his radio during the confrontation, but other officers had not yet arrived. The video then shows the officer get back on his feet, break away from the suspect and draw his gun. The officer then fired five shots as the suspect turned to run away. Paramedics pronounced the suspect dead at the scene, where police also recovered three knives. The Avondale officer, a six-year veteran of the department, was taken to the hospital for injuries on his neck and left hand.

  1. Well never seen anything like it says in the description and yes the criminal is a moron but he had no gun the officer got back up the dude was running then he shoots him in the back the officer might get into some trouble on this one if his family decides to get a lawyer involved I can see if he shot him while he was down he can say he was in danger but you shoot a guy in the back running from you is no threat any longer.

  2. Thank god the comments are more n the common sense side than a crazy agenda seeking perv in the comments trying to dismantle the cops actions like bruhhh get a life lol no one specific just in general

  3. You can now cue Ben Crump and Al Sharpton. Ben Crump thought he was going to be very busy… but turns out that 6 month pregnant NYC woman actually DID pay for the Citi bike and the 6 “youths” (1350) actually were the ones trying to steal the bike. Imagine that…. Didn’t see that coming

  4. "Ok, now you're going to prison", "now on the ground", "oh wait now underground!" I'm glad the officer was ok, fighting someone off all alone is pretty scary, not to mention in a desert all by yourself.

  5. so the pig is going to jail right? buddy was running away and the lazy piggy decided to shoot dude in the back? kinda fucked up

  6. Wait…. WHy did he shoot him??? Like cause he cant bring him into custody?? Like im all for this stuff, but i dont know…. why gun him down… i thought he would get in trouble
