A former Mesa police officer lost his appeal Tuesday of a ruling 
that found there is enough probable cause for him to be tried on 
a murder charge in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man.

The Arizona Court of Appeals rejected arguments that Philip 
Brailsford was denied a fair preliminary hearing. Brailsford has 
pleaded not guilty to the charge in the 2016 death of Daniel 
Shaver.

Shaver was shot after pleading with officers not to kill him, 
while on his knees outside his Mesa hotel room. Brailsford and 
other officers say they believed he was reaching for a gun. 
Shaver was not armed but had pellet guns in his room as part of 
his pest-control job.

Brailsford was later fired for policy violations. His trial is 
set for Oct. 23.
