A lawyer for Sergio Nino III, 18, filed a $500,000 notice of claim against Phoenix and three police officers over a January 2024 encounter.

A man who wounded a Phoenix Police officer after opening fire in 2022 has been sentenced to 68 years in prison, prosecutors said.

David Garcia was the third person to die after a run-in with Phoenix cops this year. There has since been a fourth.

The man who opened fire on officers, injuring one of them at a north Phoenix gas station in 2022, has learned his fate.

Phoenix police shot and killed 14 people in 2024. Four people have already died after police encounters this year.

Detectives arrested a man after he sent an email threatening a local school, the Phoenix Police Department said.

Officers "shall use only the force that is objectively reasonable, necessary and proportional to effectively and safely resolve an incident."

The department has not had a permanent police chief since Jeri Williams retired in the summer of 2022. Interim Police Chief Michael Sullivan was tapped for the position in September 2022, about a year after the U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into the department and city.

Gilbert police said evidence shows a woman was shot earlier this month by her kidnapper, not Phoenix police officers.

The Phoenix Police Department has revised its use of force policy to emphasize that officers should only use force that is "objectively reasonable, necessary and proportional" to the situation.
