Police said the gun-wielding suspect and another person drove away when they tried to make a traffic stop after the car had been spotted at a gas station.
Officers later found the car abandoned and on fire a few miles away on Cave Creek Road near a dog park in the direction of Bell Road.
Firefighters put out the flames and found the body.
