On August 29, 2024, just before 9 p.m., Chandler Police officers responded to a call of a su*c*dal suspect by a concerned family member. The family member stated the suspect, who was in his 30s, had made su*c*dal statements and fired a round with a weapon in an alleyway outside of their residence.

When police arrived, an officer made contact with the caller, who informed them that he had secured the weapon from the suspect and invited officers into the home.

At this time, the suspect was inside the garage with another family member. The officer entered the garage and attempted to talk to the suspect. Seconds later, the suspect withdrew a gun from his waistband.
That is when the officer-involved shooting occurred. Life-saving measures were rendered, but the suspect was pronounced deceased.
