<br> <br>The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting which occurred on March 5th, 2023.</p>
<p>This incident occurred near 43<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and Encanto Boulevard when Phoenix Police officers responded to a call about a shooting in the area. The caller stated a woman had been shot and she was now near a home in the area.</p>
<p>When officers arrived, they found a man and woman lying on the ground near each other. The man was moved to a nearby curb when they realized the woman had a gunshot wound. The investigation on-scene determined the man sitting on the curb was believed to be the person who initially shot the woman. Officers then approached the man to arrest him and he immediately resisted. A struggle began and the man pulled a gun from the front of his waistband. Both the Sergeant and one officer discharged their firearms, striking the man.</p>
<p>The man died at the scene. The woman was transported to the hospital with non-life- threatening injuries. No one else was injured during this incident. The Sergeant involved in this incident is assigned to the Maryvale Precinct and has approximately 15 years of service with the department. The officer involved in this incident is also assigned to the Maryvale Precinct and has approximately 6 and a half years of service with the department.</p>
<p>This incident is the subject of a criminal investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.</p>
<p>Conclusions about whether the actions of the officer are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation is complete, it will then be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.<br> <br>Public records law requires redaction of certain personal identifying information before video is released publicly. That is why you may see some parts of the Body Worn Camera (BWC) blurred or covered with a black box.
