On Monday, June 19, a trooper was conducting a traffic stop near 21st Avenue and Thomas Road when the driver opened fire on him, striking the trooper once.

The trooper was struck once and retreated back to his vehicle. Moments later, another trooper arrives on the scene to aid him.
Following the initial shooting, the man, identified as Luis Mateo Jacobo Borja, took off but was later found by Phoenix police officers.
Borja, again, fired at those officers, injuring one with shrapnel. After a shootout with officers, Borja drove away and later crashed into a wall. He was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.
Body camera video of the second encounter with Borja has not been released, but ABC15 obtained home surveillance video of the incident.
The trooper and officer were taken to a hospital and released later that day.
