Willie James Thomas Jr., 57, was fatally shot in Mesa, Arizona on August 11, 2016.

Mesa law enforcement investigated and located a person believed to be responsible. During a subsequent confrontation between police and that individual, the suspect was shot and killed by officers, effectively ending the manhunt.

The suspect’s death closed the active search but could not undo the loss suffered by Thomas’s family and community. If anyone knew Willie James Thomas Jr. or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
