Martin Eli Tagaban, 31, was found dead inside a Phoenix residence on May 26, 2016, after police responded to reports of gunshots near 35th Avenue and Roeser. Authorities determined Tagaban died of an apparent gunshot wound.

Witness statements led investigators to identify a 34-year-old friend of Tagaban as the person of interest. Officers located that man near Southern Avenue and 35th Avenue, and an attempt to take him into custody escalated when he resisted and pointed a firearm at officers. Police fired on the man; he was seriously injured and taken to a hospital. No officers were hurt. Southern Avenue between 31st and 35th Avenues was temporarily closed while investigators processed the homicide and the officer-involved shooting.

If anyone knew Martin, his movements that night, or witnessed activity near 35th and Roeser on May 26, 2016, please share what was seen.
