PHOENIX — WARNING: The video in this story contains disturbing images.
The Phoenix Police Department is still searching for the person responsible for the deadly shooting of a Valley teacher after nearly three months.
On Nov. 25, 2022, David Denogean, 30, was killed while he was out for a walk with his dog. Denogean was a teacher and coach with the Phoenix Union High School District.
According to police, the shooting happened in the area of 12th Street and Maryland Avenue, with officers responding to the scene around 6:00 p.m.
Police are releasing video of the incident hoping it leads to the identity of the shooter.
The video from police shows two views of the shooting. Police said one view is from a distance while the other is zoomed in showing the same events. According to police, the suspect is seen running up to Denogean, pointing a gun and shooting before running southbound.
Denogean's father, Frank Denogean said it's very upsetting to see his son's last moments.
"I've seen it once, and I'll see it again. When you see somebody come out of nowhere and you see my son just walking his dog, he's not aware of anything going to happen, to see someone come and basically shoot the lights out of your son's eyes are, it's tough, very difficult."
In January, investigator released image of the suspect believed to be responsible for the shooting.
Denogean said he believes something needs to change in the city.
"The city of Phoenix should be tired by now. Every night multiple, and I know this happens in major cities across the nation. But at some point in time we need to be fed up with this criminal activity that's out there. Whatever needs to be done needs to be done because the streets of Phoenix aren't safe and that's disturbing it really is."
