OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 29, 2025, 34-year-old Cameron Oberlin was killed during a police pursuit and standoff with Mesa Police Department officers near Sossaman Road and Ray Road in Mesa, Arizona. Officers initially responded in the early morning hours to a trespassing call at a property close to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, where Oberlin had been asked to leave by a security guard. Oberlin fled in his vehicle and officers initiated a pursuit, deploying a grappler device to stop the car. During the ensuing standoff, Oberlin fired shots from inside his vehicle at officers, striking one in the side. A stray bullet from the chaotic exchange also struck a parked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation plane at Mesa-Gateway Airport, though ICE officials said the aircraft was not damaged and remained airworthy. After about a 30-minute standoff and exchanges of gunfire with police, Oberlin died from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the vehicle. The injured officer was treated and released from the hospital. The East Valley Critical Incident Response Team is investigating the incident.
