A high-speed chase that began on Interstate 10 and continued through parts of Phoenix ended after a 56-year-old suspect left his vehicle and brandished a firearm before being shot, authorities said.

The suspect was pronounced dead at a hospital about 30 minutes after the  chase began.

At about 4:25 p.m. July 4  a trooper attempted to stop the driver of a vehicle for speeding on westbound I-10 near 40^th Street. He did not stop, officials said, and accelerated to speeds of more than 110 mph.

Other troopers joined the pursuit, and the driver left the interstate at 24^th Street, traveled the wrong way on surface streets before driving through Sky Harbor Circle where troopers attempted a maneuver to slow down and stop the vehicle, according to a release from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

But the suspect reentered I-10 westbound, then exited at the Washington/Jefferson Street off-ramp, traveled east on Jefferson and then north on 22nd Street, according to DPS.

“The suspect jumped out of the vehicle and ran southwest towards Jefferson Street and a foot pursuit ensued. During the foot pursuit, the suspect produced a firearm and a trooper-involved shooting occurred,” the release stated.

The suspect was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:57 p.m., officials said.

Troopers said they later learned, the suspect vehicle was stolen and had a fictitious license plate.
