Phoenix, AZ - A person is dead after being shot by Phoenix police officers near 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street.

The shooting happened on Monday at around 12:30 p.m.

Officials say officers were called to the area of 35th Avenue and Fillmore Street for reports of an armed robbery in an alley.

When officers got to the scene, they located a victim; however, the suspect had already taken off.

The victim was able to describe the suspect to officers, who were able to track down the suspect nearby in a vehicle.

When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the suspected vehicle, the man parked in a vacant field.

As police were trying to call backup, they saw the man point a handgun at them, and that's when officers first fired at the man.

Officials say the suspect tried to accelerate and flee but got stuck in the field.

At this point, officers started giving the man commands. But police say the man again pointed a handgun at officers, and police fired shots at the man a second time.

The man was struck and taken to a hospital, where he later died. He has been identified by police as 32-year-old Ote-Tee Brooks Nalwood.

No one else was hurt in this incident.
