Four Charged in Tucson Police Shooting Incident

Four Tucson residents—Daniel Cardenas, Hassan Omar Kassim, Jaquvon Terell Poe, and Alexandra Brooke Wisdom—have been federally charged in connection with a shooting at a Tucson Police Department undercover officer's vehicle on April 20, 2025. Cardenas allegedly fired multiple shots from inside the car at the officer's unmarked vehicle, while Kassim drove and Poe was a passenger; all three face conspiracy charges. Wisdom is charged as an accessory after the fact for helping to abandon the vehicle and conceal evidence. Despite the close-range gunfire, the officer was not injured. The case was investigated by the FBI’s Southern Arizona Violent Crime and Gang Task Force in collaboration with local police, and authorities emphasized the seriousness of attacks on law enforcement. The swift indictments highlight the commitment of federal and local agencies to addressing violence against police.
