A 44-year-old man is dead following a shooting early Sunday morning in Surprise that involved police.
Surprise police responded about 3 a.m. March 10 to a home near West Waddell and North Dysart roads for a reported domestic violence incident.
“When officers entered the residence, they encountered a male subject with a firearm, later identified as 44-year-old Trinidad Ledesma,” police stated in a release.
“A short time later, an officer-involved shooting occurred.”
Police rendered aid to Ledesma, according to the release, but he died at the scene.
The incident was isolated, and there is no threat to the community, police said, adding no one else was injured, including officers.
The officer involved in the shooting has six years of service police said.
The Buckeye Police Department will investigate the incident as part of the West Valley Investigative Response Team protocols.
