Court Paperwork: Undercover Officers Trying to Sell 500 Pounds of Pot

PHOENIX - We're getting our first look at court paperwork in a case involving the shooting death of a Chandler police officer.

34-year-old Officer Carlos Ledesma was killed Wednesday during an undercover drug deal in south Phoenix.

The court paperwork shows everything began when a tipster told the undercover officers about a possible drug deal. It's still not clear exactly what went wrong, but we're getting a clearer look at how this all went down.

"I'm just in shock seeing that it's just so close." said Angel Escalante, talking about his neighbor, Doarnell Jackson, who is accused of killing Ledesma.

Two other officers were also hit during the undercover drug deal.

Court records show the officers were trying to sell 500 pounds of marijuana to suspected drug dealers for $250,000.

The officers first met with the men at a Burger King restaurant in south Phoenix, then met with them again in a parking lot to show a sample of the pot.

Finally, undercover officers went to a south Phoenix home and drove into the garage with the drugs. Chandler police say the officers also had hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash with them.

Records show up to a dozen men were in the home when multiple gunshots rang out.

Chandler police say it's unclear what went wrong, but the suspects may have tried to rob the officers not knowing they undercover.

Five suspects face a number of charges, including aggravated assault and first degree murder.

Two suspects were killed in the gun battle and one was critically injured.

The suspects are being held on a $3 million bond.

As for the recovering officers, one is in critical, but stable condition. The other has been released from an area hospital.
