Reynel Bautista-Madrigal, a 28-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Phoenix, died on May 31, 2011 after an encounter with police that ended in a fatal shooting. Officers had been dispatched that day to a report of a suspicious person; according to the record, the interaction escalated and officers opened fire, resulting in his death. The case is recorded as a death by force tied to a law enforcement encounter, but public entries do not give a detailed sequence of events, the exact Phoenix location, or what specific actions preceded the shooting.

Commenters on the case page have framed the shooting within broader debates about police use of force and de-escalation. Does anyone have verifiable details about the location, timeline, or official investigation into this incident?
