PHOENIX, Ariz. — The FBI in Phoenix is still investigating an officer-involved shooting/assault on a federal officer that occurred on Friday afternoon on Arizona State Route 89A, north of Sedona.

A Forest Service Officer stopped to render assistance to a vehicular traffic accident. An altercation occurred between the officer and 51-year-old Tyler Miller of Hutchinson.

It was later determined the officer was injured and treated on the scene by EMS personnel. Miller was shot by the officer, transferred to a medical center and later declared deceased.

In a release, Sunday, the attorney for Miller said his client had been traveling to a spiritual retreat.

Attorney Matt Bretz said Miller lost control of his pickup truck while driving on a curving mountain road. It was after the accident that the altercation occurred north of Sedona.
