Phoenix police have identified the man who committed suicide live on national television after shooting at police officers and leading them on a car chase of up to 110 mph.
Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson says 33-year-old Jodon F. Romero was the man who stole a red vehicle at gunpoint Friday near noon and then committed suicide in the desert. Thompson said Romero had previous convictions for violent acts and was wanted for parole violations.
Based on Arizona Dept. of Corrections database information, this is Romero’s mugshot from a previous arrest in Maricopa County:
Records show his original imprisonment was for misconduct involving a weapon.
