Armed suspect shot, killed by police near Phoenix resort

PHOENIX - A suspect is dead after being shot by police at a Phoenix resort during the early-morning hours of Jan. 12.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, officers tried to stop a vehicle just after midnight near 48th Street and Baseline Road. The driver of the vehicle did not stop and left the area.

Police say when officers caught up to the suspect near the Arizona Grand Resort, he was armed with a gun. During a struggle over the gun, 23-year-old Antonio Carbajal was shot by police.

"They located the suspect who continued to run. Our officers chased on foot and as officers caught up to the male, the male armed himself with a gun and a struggle ensued and that's when the officer-involved shooting occurred," said Sgt. Ann Justus.

Carbajal was pronounced dead at the scene.

No officers were injured. Police say the officers involved in the shooting were wearing their body cameras, which were on.
