How they died
Deadly force
A jaywalker, Erik Jovani Martinez, shot Phoenix police Officer Nick Erfle in the face, killing him. The gunman, an illegal immigrant who had been deported last year, fled after shooting Erfle, commandeering a stopped car at gunpoint and ordering the motorist to drive. About an hour later, a Phoenix police tactical team surrounded on a west Phoenix street and shot him dead as he pointed a gun at the hostage.
