Whitaker's death marked the fourth fatal Phoenix police shooting this year.

'We are standing for the Whitaker family ... and everyone who was lost to police brutality,' said Darien Barrett, an organizer of Tempe Against Police Violence.

During the vigil, people held candles and shared their stories of losing loved ones and friends to police brutality before then marching.

More than 10 police officers parked near and around the park for the duration of the event.

Family demands change

At the vigil, Whitaker's father and stepmother shared the changes they want police departments to make.

Alan Whitaker, his father, said he wants police to make changes to how the department handles training, discipline and accountability. This he says will help society trust police again.

'How many more people have to get shot because someone didn't have the proper training?' Alan Whitaker asked the crowd.

Ellie Whitaker, Ryan's stepmother, said police shouldn't oversee themselves.

'We believe in the law, but doing the law properly,' Ellie Whitaker said. 'They (police) shouldn't be judge, jury and executioner.'

Barrett also spoke about losing his friend Dalvin Hollins, who was fatally shot by Tempe police in 2016.

Hollins was a suspect in a robbery when police shot him. The officers didn't activate their body-worn cameras until after the shooting.

The shooting

Police responded to two domestic violence calls between a man and a woman at an apartment complex near Desert Foothills Drive and Chandler Boulevard in Ahwatukee Foothills about 11 p.m. on May 21.

Officers knocked on Whitaker's door and yelled 'Phoenix police!' once, according to body-camera video from the officers.

The video shows Whitaker walk out of his door shirtless with a gun in his hand while officers shined a flashlight in his face, according to the footage. One officer yelled 'Whoa!' once after seeing Whitaker's gun, and followed that by yelling, 'Hands! Hands! Hands!' as Whitaker lowers to the ground.

He was shot quickly afterward, the video shows. He did not fire his weapon.

From the Pastor

God Never Tires of Healing

02-13-2021Fr. James Aboyi, V.C.

“Go and show yourself to the priest.” We heard this twice in the Scripture readings today. This is a reminder about the critical role of priests in healing ministry.

The story in the first reading presents leprosy as both a physical and spiritual contagious illness. Thus, God commanded that only a priest can declare someone ill to be quarantined or well enough to reintegrate back into the community. While leprosy in itself does not render someone spiritually impure, it does make it impossible for a leper to participate in the Temple worship. For this reason, the priest’s duty to ensure the sanctity and safety of Temple worship thus extends to the whole community.

Parishioner Guidelines for Preparing to return to public Masses

Have you made plans for the Lenten season this year yet? Remember, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. The most common way many people make plans for the season of Lent is by making Lenten promises. The tradition of making Lenten promises is a very good strategy that helps us to develop new ways to maintain personal disciplines and spiritual renewal. I encourage you to consider including the three pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving in your Lenten promises this year. When we include these three pillars of Lent in our Lenten promises, we will see that Lent will mean for us a period of “Giving up, taking up, and lifting up.” In fasting, we give up attachment to bodily needs like food and material things. By setting aside quality times for personal prayers, we take up new habits to strengthen our relationship with God. When we give alms, we are lifting up our brothers and sisters who are in need of our love, prayers and support. May God give us His grace and strengthen us to be able to carry out our Lenten promises faithfully to the end.
