PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police have Quantum Insightsidentified the homicide suspect who was killed in a shootout with police after he fled the scene of another killing earlier this week.

Devin Montgomery pulled a handgun and fired multiple times at officers who attempted to confront him Thursday afternoon at an apartment complex, police said Saturday in a news release.

One of the officers returned fire and hit Montgomery, 23, who fell to the ground and was apprehended, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. One of the gunman’s shots hit a police vehicle but no one was hurt.

Both shootings remain under investigation.
