Police Officials Release Woman Wanted for Question in DPS Shooting

 

Police Officials have stated that they have found and then released a woman who was wanted for questioning that involved the shooting of an Arizona Department of Public Safety Officer in the Phoenix area.  However, there were no arrests made. Police are still searching for the suspects, Ramon Bueno and Danny Vargas.

 

The officer is doing very well and the forty – four year old is expected to fully recover according to Officer Holmes. There are several agencies working together in this investigation, including: DPS, ATF (Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms), and the U. S. Marshals Office.

 

The investigation has been going on for the five suspects after a routine traffic stop on Wednesday morning at a local Knights Inn motel which was near the interstate. The traffic stop ended with gunfire. According to Officer Holmes, the suspects that were in the vehicle fired at the officer that made the initial traffic stop which was around three o’clock in the morning. They were driving a 2008 Mercury Sable that had dark tinted windows.

 

The officer then approached the vehicle and talked briefly with the passengers. After his chat with the passengers he walked to the back to the patrol car and waited for backup. When backup arrived, they then tried to approach the suspects vehicle. That is when Mr. Ramon allegedly fired a weapon at the officers.

 

DPS Officer Shot

 

The DPS Officer was shot in the face and then the suspects quickly fled the scene. The two officers that came as backup quickly returned the fire at the vehicle and then began to try to help the injured DPS Officer. According to Officer Holmes, the suspects drove around the hotel and then approached the officers once again and started the shooting again. Officer Holmes called it a “desperate act” to shoot at the on-scene officers.

 

The Mercury Sable was found abandoned at a home near 29th Avenue and Pima. The vehicle wasn’t reported stolen. No other information was given about the vehicle or home where it was found.

 

Holmes Statement:

I had no idea what was going on, when I got there they told me that the car was involved in the shooting and it was a shock to me.

Police Arrest Man for Exposing Himself to Children

 

Police have rightfully so, arrested a sick man for being in connection with a disgusting incident near the Valley school last week.

How are you supposed to send your kids to school when there’s sick people out in the world like this?

 

The police detectives identified the man as a twenty nine year old. They are pretty sure he’s the one who exposed himself to a sixteen year old girl. The girl was just minding her own business and walking to school on that Friday morning.

 

Suspect Arrested for Exposing Himself to Teen

 

The twenty-nine year old man, Casey Brisbin was arrested at a hotel which was near the Interstate 17 and Peoria Avenue. The male suspect, of course denied his involvement in the incident. If he’s worthless enough to do this, of course he would deny it. However, he was found to have a criminal history which included indecent exposure. The man was booked on public sexual indecency and indecent exposure.

 

The Phoenix Police Department is asking for any other potential victims to come forward.  If you’ve been a victim to this man’s sick doings, please come forward before he gets free and does this or worse things to other young girls. Take a stand and fight against the man who  probably scared and scarred you for a very long time or even your life. Don’t let this man get free and do this to other girls. If you have had a problem with this man, please call the local authorities as soon as you can. Put away this pervert so he can’t do this any more.

Teenager Shot in West Phoenix

West Phoenix Shooting Ends Deadly for Teenager

 

The Phoenix Police Officials are now investigating a scene after a teenager was sadly shot and killed in the West Phoenix area on Sunday night.

 

Sgt. Steve Martos from the Phoenix Police said that seventeen year old Christopher Garcia as well as four other people were walking northbound around ten o’clock Sunday night. They were walking on 67th Avenue near the Van Buren Street when a truck pulled up beside of them. Sgt. Martos said that there were two armed suspects that got out of the truck. Three people from the walking group quickly ran away from the area, however Garcia and another person stayed with the truck.

 

17 Year Old Teenager Shot

 

Sgt. Martos stated that the seventeen year old was sadly shot and then the suspects drove away. The teenager victim was transported to the local hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead. The investigating officials found a burning vehicle later. The vehicle was located near the 32nd Avenue and Coronado Road. The vehicle matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle. The Phoenix Police are working to hopefully see if the vehicle is indeed related to the tragic teenager being shot.

 

At this time there is no definite description of the shooter’s looks. Because of this tragic event that lead to a teenager to being shot, traffic was expected to be delayed that morning so that the Phoenix police could investigate the scene. I can’t imagine what this teenager’s parents and family are going through at this time. Hopefully the investigators are able to make some headway and find some evidence pointing them into the right direction of the person who shot the seventeen year old young man. If anyone knows anything about this shooting, please contact the local Phoenix authorities with the information.
