"Peoria Police seek the public’s help in identifying a deceased male subject who was
involved in an Officer Involved Shooting with the Avondale Police Department on February 21, 2023, at approximately 12:30PM, near North 10th Street and East Riley Drive, Avondale, Arizona. As part of a West Valley Investigative Response Team, Peoria Police was assigned as the lead agency for this criminal investigation.
Peoria Detectives have been attempting to identify the male subject through a number of methods and have been unsuccessful. They have exhausted all resources and are now seeking public assistance to identify the male subject.
The male subject is described as an African American male, 5’6’’ tall and weighed around 135lbs. He had black hair that was styled in twists (5'' long) and brown eyes. He had spaces between his upper front teeth and piercing in his left ear. He was found wearing three pairs of pants (purple, black and gray), two homemade necklaces, two beaded bracelets, two pairs of socks and crocs.
Attached to this media release is a facial sketch created by a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) Forensic Artist that depicts what the male subject may have looked like as well as items he was wearing. At this time, the age is unknown of the male subject.
The Peoria Police Department has partnered with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in reference to all of the leads pertaining to the facial sketch and clothing items. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact 1-800-CALLFBI or 1-800-225-5324.
We have completed the criminal investigation and submitted our findings to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review, which is currently pending."
