Man sentenced in Gila River officer shooting

For a man has been sentenced to federal prison for the 2024 deadly shooting of a Gila River police officer. New court documents now giving us better insight into what happened that night. Fox 10's Steve Nielsen joining us in studio now with more on this. Steve. Yeah, Robert Enos was just 16 years old when he shot three people, killing two and injuring another. In May, the now 19-year-old pleaded guilty. He was sentenced last week to 30 years in federal prison. But because this is a federal case many of the court documents are sealed but we did get our hands on one it was June 1st 2024 Gila River Police respond to a disturbance call in Santan around two in the morning officers arrived to find around a hundred people in multiple groups fighting as police tried to break up the party several shots were fired two people were killed that includes 23 year old Gila River Police Officer Joshua Brees and 23 year old Allison Afkoff several other people were also hurt. 16-year-old Robert Enos and his brother, 18-year-old Joseph Noda, were arrested. Noda facing assault and firearm charges. In a court filing from last year to get Noda's charges dismissed, defense attorneys detailed what happened that night. They say one shot was fired, causing people to scatter. Noda reportedly ran to his car. His attorneys say police body camera video and bystander's cell phone video show Noda with his hands in the car holding what appears to be a rifle, but they say he never pointed the gun at anyone. Body cam video without audio reportedly shows Officer Brees approaching Noda from behind and deploying a taser. He's then seen pulling out a gun and shooting Noda multiple times in the back, leaving him paralyzed. Defense lawyers say the video showed Noda's hands were empty with no gun visible. Enos eventually shoots and kills Officer Brees. Noda's federal trial is expected to begin in February. Federal investigators have not released any other information or the body cam video that shows what happened. Reporting in studio, Steve Nielsen, Fox 10, Phoenix. Steve, thank you.
