PHOENIX After more than a year, Ryan Whitaker’s family is seeing a step forward in accountability for his death.
Whitaker was shot and killed by Phoenix Police Officer Jeff Cooke in May of 2020. Phoenix police told 12 News Wednesday evening that Cooke is in the process of being fired.
“It’s a step in the right direction,” Katie Baeza, Whitaker’s sister said. “Is it enough? No.”

The investigation by the county attorney s office could also find no wrongdoing on the part of Whitaker. But neither did Cooke do anything unreasonable, especially given only seconds to make a decision, Adel said in a statement. Mr. Whitaker is dead and he shouldn’t be, she said. Likewise, the officers appropriately responded to a call of an active situation of domestic violence.
On the evening of May 21 last year, Whitaker was in his apartment in Ahwatukee with his girlfriend. A neighbor above him heard what he thought was an argument between a man and woman in the unit below, and called 911 to report a domestic dispute.
