Police officers fatally shot a man who they say pointed a gun at them after a brief police chase that ended in a crash on Monday night in south Phoenix.

A pair of patrol officers were dispatched around 10 p.m. to the area of 15th Avenue and Chipman Road about a home invasion call, according to police. The caller, police said, had told dispatchers a man armed with a handgun was forcing his way into the home. Arriving officers saw a pickup truck with the person they thought was the suspect inside leaving the area, according to police.

The officers, police said, turned on their lights and sirens, but the pickup's driver continued to flee and crashed his vehicle into a short block wall near 15th and Wier avenues, about two blocks north of the reported break-in.

The man driving the pickup stepped out of the truck with a gun in hand, leading officers to order him to stop and drop the firearm, according to police. But the man ran toward a house, police said, and upon reaching the driveway, raised a gun toward the officers, at which point officers fired their handguns.

The fatally wounded suspect was identified by police as 41-year-old Carlos Fregoso.

Jaurigui Martinez, 32, lives a couple of houses from the shooting. He was headed out when he noticed police activity in the area and took video showing police sirens as a male officer is heard shouting before gunfire is heard.

Sometime after 10 a.m., a Chevrolet Silverado was being taken on a flatbed truck from the area. Lydia Lucero, 49, lives nearby and said the truck appeared to have been up in the middle of 15th Avenue after slamming into the wall of a corner house.

Officers gave the man medical aid until Fire Department personnel arrived and determined he died, according to police. The man, who was found by authorities to be the home invasion suspect, was not identified by name, but police said he was in his early 40s.

Detectives recovered two handguns from the man and a rifle from inside the truck, according to police.

On Tuesday, Phoenix police fatally shot a man who they said pulled a handgun after officers approached him following a call by a woman who said he tried jumping her fence.
