OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On March 18, 2025, Amarillo Police Department officers responded to the 4900 block of Southwest 16th Avenue, where 33-year-old Zane Calum Prescott was sitting inside his car, with a gun. Negotiators engaged with Prescott for several hours, attempting to convince him to surrender. During the standoff, police discovered he was violating a protective order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm. An arrest warrant was issued, and when officers attempted to take him into custody, Prescott rammed through a fence at the south end of his home and drove off. Police pursued him to Bushland, where his vehicle stalled at Bushland Road and Wind River Drive. Prescott was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
