34-year-old Ali Osman was shot and killed after he was throwing rocks at patrol cars
PHOENIX, AZ — A Phoenix police officer has been fired after an officer-involved shooting in September 2022.
Two officers shot at Osman, but it is unknown if Sullivan intends to take action against the other officer involved. After the interim chief's announcement, the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association released a statement saying that Sullivan's decision to fire officer Johnson was"unfair." "The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association was made aware of a Media Advisory that was sent out this afternoon regarding Officer Jesse Johnson #11028 and the critical incident he was involved in 2022.
As a reminder, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reviewed the intimate details surrounding this use of force incident and cleared Officer Johnson of any criminal wrongdoing. In addition, the department's own Critical Incident Review Board , which is comprised of 2 community members, 2 peer officers, 1 Commander, and 1 Assistant Chief, unanimously found this use of force in policy. Interim Chief Sullivan decided not to trust this board’s in-depth review and overturned their finding.
