“The shooting of nine people that took the life of one person on Hatcher Road near 10th Avenue is deeply troubling and has shaken the Sunnyslope community. This violence has no place in our neighborhoods! Further troubling is an additional fatal shooting of a juvenile that happened not even a half mile away around the same time. It is not known if the incidents are related. Phoenix Police are actively investigating what led up to these shootings to bring anyone responsible to justice.”

| Councilwoman Stark's Statement on Retirement of Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/district-3/2335 | | City Council District 3 | 5/3/2022 8:30:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2335/Newsroom_Council_Statement_03.jpg | | Councilwoman Stark's Statement on Retirement of Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams | <div class="ExternalClass00D0B24FECD5478BBF4397FCD8304682"><html>
<p>"Chief Jeri Williams has led the Phoenix Police Department with courage, dignity, and professionalism for the past six years, and she has devoted her entire 33-year career to public service. As the department’s first female police chief, she made history. But Chief Williams never rested on her laurels. The role of police chief comes with great responsibility, which Chief Williams understood and worked tirelessly to protect and serve the community she grew up in. She has also led the department through challenging times and reforms. I look forward to working with the next police chief to continue supporting our men and women in blue who protect our community. I wish Chief Williams a happy retirement and the best for her future."<br></p>
