Harold Lynn Phelps, 57, died on the morning of February 25, 2014, in Mesa, Arizona, after a sequence that began with a reported robbery at a U.S. Bank branch. Police identified Phelps as the suspect in the robbery and later located him driving; a pursuit followed. The chase ended when his vehicle collided with another object. After the crash, Phelps exited his vehicle armed and reportedly aimed the weapon at pursuing officers. Two officers fired at Phelps; he was struck and later pronounced dead despite emergency medical aid at the scene.

Phelps was the sole suspect in the bank robbery, and his death closed that case. The officers’ use of force was subject to an internal review; no arrests were made in connection with his death. Does anyone have information about Phelps’s activities that morning or about witnesses to the pursuit and crash?
