On the evening of December 2, 2014, 34-year-old Rumain Brisbon was shot and killed by a Phoenix police officer after officers responded to a report of suspected drug dealing linked to a black Cadillac SUV. Police say an officer ordered Brisbon to show his hands, observed him reach toward the back of the SUV, then put his hands near his waistband and flee. A foot chase and physical struggle followed; the officer grabbed Brisbon’s hand in his pocket and reported feeling what he believed was a gun handle. The officer, 30-year-old Mark Rine, fired two shots, striking Brisbon in the torso. Paramedics pronounced Brisbon dead at the scene and an autopsy confirmed two gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Investigators later found a semi-automatic handgun and a jar of marijuana inside the Cadillac and a vial of oxycodone pills in Brisbon’s pocket. The shooting prompted protests in Phoenix and calls from Brisbon’s family for transparency. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office decided not to file criminal charges in the case.

Did anyone in Phoenix see the Cadillac or have information about the moments before officers approached the vehicle?
