The Maricopa Police Department has identified the two officers involved in the shooting of 32-year-old Johnathon Guillory on Sunday.
Sgt. Leonard Perez and Officer Joshua Hawksworth responded to Guillory’s home in Cobblestone Farms on a welfare check after 911 calls originated from the home.
When police arrived, Guillory was walking outside and was believed to have a weapon. An ensuing confrontation led to the man being shot when the officers felt threatened, according to MPD spokesman Ricardo Alvarado.
The Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident. DPS has released no information on the weapon Guillory may have possessed at the time.
He was transported to Chandler Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead from his wounds.
Guillory served in the military in Iraq. He is survived by a wife and two children. MPD had multiple contacts with Guillory prior to Sunday, according to DPS.
