According to police, a woman was wanted for a homicide that happened earlier in the day; 55-year-old Todd Landon was shot and killed near Central Avenue and Camelback Road. Police said the woman was spotted several hours after the first incident by a bystander at the Japanese Friendship Garden, who noticed she was armed and called law enforcement. A responding officer recognized that she could be the suspect sought in the earlier case and tried to negotiate with her. She refused to follow commands and was shot and killed.
