PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - FBI Phoenix is currently searching for Valentin Rodriguez, who is suspected of possible involvement in a shootout on Wednesday at an Arizona reservation.

One officer was critically injured and then the suspect made an escape on foot.

39-year-old Valentin Rodriguez may possible be connected to the tribe in Camp Verde and he is currently accused of being involved in the incident.

A $5,000 reward from the FBI is available for anyone who has information leading to Rodriguez's arrest.
