PHOENIX — Two officers shot and killed a fleeing man in Phoenix late Wednesday night, the city's police department said.
The officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a potential domestic violence situation near the intersection of 19th Avenue and Yavapai Street, the department said. There, they found a man and woman in their mid-twenties.
The man, identified as 26-year-old Juan Reynoso, fled from police when officers attempted to detain him, police said. The officers shot the man while he was fleeing after he allegedly armed himself with a gun and refused to listen to officers' commands to drop the weapon.
Police later found that the weapon the man allegedly armed himself with was a replica gun.
Reynoso was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
This is a developing story; additional details will be added as they become available.
