Isidro Meza, 44, was shot and killed near Jackrabbit Trail and Lower Buckeye Road in Buckeye, Arizona, on the night of March 10, 2020. Deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office took one man into custody at the scene without resistance and homicide detectives investigated. The sheriff’s office later recommended charging the alleged shooter with second-degree murder, but in July the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office declined to file charges, concluding the shooting was an act of self-defense; authorities said there were no other outstanding suspects.

Six months after Meza’s death, his family filed a notice of claim seeking nearly $1 million against the Buckeye Police Department and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. The claim alleges officers were slow to respond to multiple 911 calls made in the hours before the shooting and accuses the agencies of gross negligence, wrongful death, and negligent supervision, training, and hiring, saying officers did not arrive until after Meza had died.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the events leading up to the shooting who can help clarify what happened that night?
