PHOENIX - Phoenix police arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a man who was operating a state police photo radar unit that was parked on a north Phoenix freeway to catch speeders, police said Monday.
The suspect was being questioned Monday morning, Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill said in a news release. Police said more information would be released at a briefing later in the day.
DPS Director Roger Vanderpool called the killing "appalling (and) senseless."
The victim, 51-year-old Doug Georgianni, was shot just before 9 p.m. Sunday while he was inside the specially outfitted Ford Escape and monitoring data collection, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Video equipment on the photo enforcement SUV, which is marked as a DPS vehicle, showed a vehicle that was believed to have been used during the shooting. The driver of that vehicle was described as a man who appears to be in his 60s and has white hair and a white mustache.
Georgianni had worked for three months for RedFlex Traffic Systems Inc., which has a contract with DPS to operate photo enforcement vehicles and fixed cameras on state highways.
