On June 4, Arizona Department of Public Safety officers and Gila County deputies pursued a 34-year-old man connected to two separate drive-by shootings in Phoenix. Officers used spike strips on State Route 87 to stop the vehicle, and Gila County deputies executed a PIT maneuver, forcing it off the highway. The man stepped out holding a handgun and ignored repeated orders to drop it. A deputy opened fire, striking and killing him on the roadside. The man died at the scene.
