The Phoenix Police Department released a Critical Incident Briefing video related to an officer-involved shooting that happened on December 23, 2019.
The incident happened at 11:00 in the morning, two days before Christmas, in a busy shopping mall parking lot near 76th Ave & Thomas.
Officers of the Maryvale/Estrella Mountain Precinct responded to multiple calls of a shooting. The first caller was a woman who told dispatchers a man in his late 30s tried to take her car at gun point. She said as she drove away, the man shot her twice.
Shortly after this incident, a second woman reported a man, later identified as 38-year-old Richard Ruiz, approached her red pick-up truck. She said Ruiz held her at gun point so she opened the driver side door and ran from her truck.
Ruiz jumped into the driver seat, driving slowly around the parking lot. The carjacking victim feared he was coming after her and began screaming. She moved toward a man who was walking into the nearby shopping center.
Ruiz continued searching the parking lot for the woman as she hid between cars. The man rushed toward the business to get help for the woman. As he was entering the business, store surveillance shows Ruiz driving up to the entrance, firing his gun and hitting the man while two women were just a few feet away.
At this point, Ruiz drove away and seconds later, the first police officers showed up. The male shooting victim was able to point officers in the direction of Ruiz.
Officers followed Ruiz who circled around the parking. Approximately 60 seconds after first shooting the man, Ruiz circled back in front of the store and tried to target him again, while the wounded victim hid behind a concrete pillar for protection.
After this second confrontation with the victim, Ruiz drove off again and those same first responding officers tended to the shooting and carjacking victims.
For the safety of the victims, they were placed in the patrol vehicle and taken to a nearby medical center for help. The physical injuries were not life threatening.
While the victims were receiving medical assistance, other officers continued to pursue the suspect through the parking lot.
During the pursuit an officer utilized his patrol vehicle, ramming the pick-up truck hoping to disable the vehicle. Unfortunately, the vehicle was not affected, and Ruiz continued to drive around. Ruiz finally stopped just south of the business and left through the driver’s side door armed with a gun.
Two officers fired their guns and struck Ruiz. Officers approached Ruiz and the weapon was moved away from him. Officers began life saving measures as they waited for fire personnel.
Firefighters pronounced Ruiz dead at the scene.
Officers determined that there were three victims during this incident. Two had gunshot wounds including the man seen on the store surveillance video and woman who initially called 911. Their injuries were not life threatening.
The third victim was the adult woman held at gun point while the suspect took the red truck. She was not physically injured.
The involved officers are from the Maryvale/Estrella Mountain Precinct. The first officer is 29-years-old with 3 years of service and his partner is 40-years-old with 17 years of service.

9:16 they dubbed over ? What was said before ?
WHen evil crosses your path, have a gun on your person so you have a fighting chance
When the dude gets blasted and screams brought a smile to my face
That looked like the Keystone Kops in the parking lot car chase! LMAO
Hispanic means non Spanish South American Indian.
So will the criminal get a hundred years in prison, or five minutes, that's our main problem, lock up the criminals.
Everyone that mattered survived. The bad guy died a painful death. 😎
I'm Latino and I feel ashamed by pieces of shit like this, that go an try to hurt people, because they think they're so bad, and nothing can get them, so I don't give a crap if they get killed, disrespect should be met with the same; why the fuk would you do this to people? racial war? resentment for past History like 100+ years ago? or WTF is wrong with people?
@5:00 he damn near lost em in the parking lot
he's Not a maniac!-he's just a guy who sees differently than you or i,IS THAT A CRIME??â˜Âï¸Â
What a brave woman.
Cops following the truck through the parking lot….high rated speed🤣🤣🤣 uh not 4:47
Tough guy shooting unarmed women cried like a baby when he took a slug himself.
You know the cops were putting all their weight on kneeing the suspect when they were taking him into custody. (I say good, F him! You shoot people..Thats what you get! You dont get any empathy, at least in the moment!
That lady must have seen shit in her time.
When the cops and the suspect were driving around in the parking lot in circles chasing each other, did anyone else hear the Benny Hill Show music?
Props to cops for takeing the victims in the police car
Cops delivered swift justice! Best of all only tax payer cost is a couple bucks for the rounds they fired.
The First Lady should actually become a 911 dispatcher. Calm and matter of fact. I hope all the victims had a full recovery.
Another mass shooting that was ignored by the media because the shooter wasn’t a white male.
I’ve never seen a high speed chase in a parking lot.
If the US didn't have such pathetic gun laws there'd be less of this happening. Never too late to tighten up!
I’m wondering why the guy ran out to a cop car and than the cop was gone and the shooter just did a circle. Was the cop like ha funny prank? Or what.
Another proof that consanguinity in hispanic populations is a real problem
Those cement car bomb stoppers saved his life. The truck could have come right to him.
are in Mexico again?
