Officers spotted the suspect near 49th St. and McDowell Rd. walking in and out of oncoming traffic holding an object in his hand. Police commands were given to the suspect, but he continued to walk away while shouting back at officers.

One officer used a pepper ball launcher. The suspect continued to walk towards a strip mall parking lot. Another officer fired his gun striking the suspect.

Officers provided medical aid on scene while the Phoenix Fire Department was called. The suspect was transported to the hospital where he later died.
