Authorities have identified the suspect who was killed Monday morning in Goodyear in an officer-involved shooting.

James Dopson, 29, was shot and killed by a Goodyear officer early Monday, Jan. 30, after he would not drop his weapon when police ordered him to do so, police said.

Officers responded to a shooting at about 1:30 a.m. Jan. 30, at an apartment complex at Centerra and Estrella Parkway. They found a man with gunshot wounds, and he was taken to a hospital in critical condition, police said. His identity has not been released.

The suspect fled on foot, and police said they saw him walking toward an occupied vehicle at 152^nd Drive and Van Buren.

“He did not comply with commands to stop and drop the gun and, at that time, one officer fired their duty weapon,” police said in a release. No officers were injured.

The shooting occurred at about 1:45 a.m., and the West Valley Incident Response Team is investigating the officer-involved shooting, police said.

Authorities continue to look for a silver car that had at least two people in it at the 152^nd Drive and Van Buren intersection when the officer-involved shooting took place. Anyone with information is asked to call 623-349-6411.

Police said they are continuing to investigate the motive in the  1:30 a.m. shooting.
