PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Phoenix Police Department has released body camera idea of the Fourth of July shooting that left a 28-year-old man dead.

The incident started with a 9-1-1 call reporting a stabbing. The caller claimed his attacker continued to threaten him. He described the suspect as a thin, shorter Latino man around 28-year-old.

Phoenix police say they arrived on the scene to find James Garcia, who matched that description, sitting in a parked car. The video shows officers repeatedly asking Garcia to step out of his vehicle. It also shows him repeatedly refusing.

Garcia later died at a Phoenix hospital. He was on probation, and was not supposed to be in possession of a weapon at the time of the incident.
