Deadly force
An off duty Phoenix Police Officer shot two men, killing one, outside the Hurricane Bay nightclub for attempting to steal a refrigerator out of the back of a truck. The officer, Gary Schonfelder, was working as security for the nightclub. When he went into the parking lot around 4 a.m. he saw two men trying to steal a refrigerator out of the back of his truck. The two suspects fled to an SUV and pulled out guns. Schonfelder pulled his service weapon, identified himself as a police officer and when they did not drop the weapons, opened fire, killing Tomas G. Ramirez Gonzalez and wounding Adrian De La Cruz. Suspect Jose Luis Chacon was arrested.
This record exists so that Tomas G. Ramirez Gonzalez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
