PHOENIX – Phoenix Police are investigating a gunfight with officers outside a crowded bar on 96th Avenue and Camelback. The incident began when two uniformed officers were working in a local bar on Saturday night. A customer had reached out to her and told the police that her ex-boyfriend might be following her from another nearby bar. Later that night, officials reportedly saw the ex-boyfriend arguing with the woman on the bar terrace. “The officers, in consultation with the staff, asked the suspect to leave and took him to the parking lot,” the police said. “The suspect wanted to drive away, but then turned to go behind the bar.” Police said they saw a pickup truck drive towards them and the man fired several shots in their direction. The police fired several shots back while the suspect escaped. “After passing the officers, the pickup drove a short distance, fired additional shots, and then fled the scene,” officials said. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Jesse Allen Villasaez, drove away but was later injured near the 67th. No one was injured in the incident.
