You\u2019re more likely to be shot by a cop in some parts of Phoenix than others.<\/p>\n

Phoenix New Times mapped all documented shootings by Phoenix police officers from 2019 to the present using, data from the police department and the county attorney\u2019s office. The map is color-coded by year, with each incident labeled with the name of the person shot or shot at, the incident report number and whether the person survived. Also included are links to body-cam video and other news coverage, if available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In all, there are 151 documented \u201ccritical incidents\u201d on the map. The list starts with 19-year-old Jacob Harris, whom Phoenix police officers shot and killed on Jan. 11, 2019. It ends with Joseph Adam Mendez, whom officers shot and killed on April 29 of this year. The map will be updated whenever police shootings occur.<\/p>\n

In a couple of instances, the department said that it found that the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while officers fired. New Times labeled those as \u201cfatal.\u201d The map does not include an incident that killed Turrell Clay, who died after officers fired multiple less-lethal rounds at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Broadly, the map shows a concentration of shootings in South Phoenix and in west Phoenix, particularly along the Interstate 17 corridor, an area that is subject to significant law enforcement activity.<\/p>\n
