OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 12/22/2025 in Phoenix, a traffic stop was attempted on a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Alexis Torres near 7th Avenue and Dobbins Road after police received reports linked to a shooting incident. Torres fled the attempted stop and entered a nearby home, triggering a standoff with Phoenix police negotiators. During the barricade, Torres died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
