Prescott Officer Indicted Manslaughter Shooting Unarmed Man
Former Prescott police officer Brian Sutton was indicted for manslaughter by a Yavapai County grand jury in connection with the June 2024 shooting death of Daniel Leslie, an unarmed man. The incident occurred after Sutton responded to a domestic dispute call, encountering Leslie outside his home and shooting him as Leslie ran toward the house after not following police commands. Body camera footage reportedly shows Sutton firing multiple times, striking Leslie, who later died at the hospital. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is handling the prosecution due to a conflict of interest for the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office, and the investigation was conducted by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Sutton has since been fired and self-surrendered to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, while Leslie’s family has filed a $20 million notice of claim against the Prescott police, alleging unlawful use of force. The indictment has sparked calls for accountability and legal action from the victim's family.
