The 43-year-old suspect injured in an officer-involved shooting in Mesa earlier this month is in jail after being released from a hospital.

Victor Manuel Pacheco faces assault and weapons charges stemming from an incident that began when Mesa police responded to a domestic violence call on Sept. 19 near Country Club Drive and Broadway Road.

According to court records, the suspect’s fiancé said he shot a gun near her face and threatened to kill her before he left in a black Mercedes sedan. The woman called police.

At the home, police saw the suspect’s car “within view of the scene,” court records stated, and patrol vehicles followed it before making a traffic stop south of the Alma School and Main Street intersection.

“The man leaned out of his vehicle holding what appeared to be a handgun," police officials said in a release issued shortly after the incident. "This is when the officer-involved shooting occurred."

One officer fired, and the man was hit by gunfire.

Police said "less lethal measures" then were used to get the man out of his vehicle.

The suspect’s handgun was tossed in the roadway and was identified as a .45 Sig Sauer, police said.

Police reported they found three more handguns inside the car. Another weapon was found in the suspect’s and victim’s home, according to court records.

Pacheco has a 2010 Pima County armed robbery conviction and was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison, which prohibits him from possessing firearms as his rights have not been restored, court records show.
