Jesse Joseph Fischer, a 40-year-old man from Arlington, Texas, died on October 20, 2021, after a police-involved shooting following a short vehicle pursuit. A 911 caller reported a man slumped in his car on Pioneer Parkway; officers including Robert Phillips found Fischer awake in a running vehicle. Fischer drove off after being ordered to shut the car off, leading to a low-speed chase that ended in a cul-de-sac near Arkansas Lane and Collins Street. Phillips approached Fischer’s car, which made a U-turn toward him, and Phillips fired multiple shots through the windshield, striking Fischer. Fischer later died at a hospital despite life-saving efforts.

Phillips was fired from the Arlington Police Department for violating procedures. A Tarrant County Grand Jury later indicted Phillips on a first-degree murder charge, with the indictment citing failure to follow the department’s use-of-force policy that limits firing at a moving vehicle unless deadly force is warranted. The Arlington Police Association has called for Phillips’ reinstatement, saying he felt threatened; the department has defended its decision to terminate him.

Are there witnesses or dash-cam footage from that cul-de-sac area who can shed more light on what happened?
