A police officer who was seriously injured responding to a call in South Phoenix on Tuesday night is expected to be released from the hospital Wednesday night, according to a Phoenix police statement Wednesday morning.

As officers attempted to take a woman into custody, other family members reportedly began to assault the officers.

In a swift response, the Katy Police Department arrested 18-year-old Aaron Noe Chavez and a juvenile following a shooting at Katy Mills Mall on December 23, 2024. No injuries were reported, and the suspects, linked to an ongoing feud, were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

This is at least the 15th fatal shooting by Phoenix police this year, according to data compiled by The Arizona Republic.

Rewards will be paid for information leading to an arrest in this case," stated Phoenix Police Sgt. Rob Scherer. No suspect information has been released. A Southern California police department reminded the public that Proposition 36 went into effect last week by releasing a video from earlier this month of two shoplifting suspects talking about the new law while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.

An investigation is underway after a man was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Phoenix overnight. According to early police reports, the crash happened near 35th and Northern avenues shortly before 3:30 a.
