On the morning of May 10, 2005, Phoenix Police Officer David Christopher Uribe, 48 and a 22-year veteran, stopped a vehicle near the 3400 block of West Cactus Road for having a stolen license plate. As he approached the driver’s side at about 11:10 a.m., one of the two men in the car opened fire, striking Officer Uribe in the head and neck. A witness immediately called 911 and began CPR, and Uribe was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead; the cause of death was gunfire from a handgun.

The two suspects fled, abandoning the vehicle a few blocks away. A rapid investigation led to arrests two days later. The passenger, Donald Delahanty, then 22, was identified as the shooter; the driver, Christopher Wilson, 31, was also arrested. Reports indicate Delahanty had been using methamphetamine and reportedly wanted to harm a police officer. Delahanty was later convicted of first-degree murder and Wilson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and agreed to testify against him; Wilson received an 11-year sentence and Delahanty was sentenced to death.

Did anyone in northwest Phoenix see the vehicle or the two men around Cactus Road that morning who hasn’t already spoken with investigators?
