The officer-involved shooting death of an armed man who was sitting inside a parked car in Phoenix has prompted protests to erupt across the city. 

In video recorded by witnesses, police are heard yelling at the man: 'Hey, stop f**king moving. I will f**king shoot you!' before opening fire.

The man in the vehicle has been identified as James Porter Garcia, 28. 

Phoenix police released a statement and bodycam footage of the incident that occurred around 1pm on Saturday. 

Authorities said they responded to a residence after a caller reported that a man who tried to kill him a week ago had returned with a knife and was threatening him again.

Police said one officer broke the side window of the car to distract the man and two other officers opened fire.

Following the man's death, protests erupted across the city, with dozens of demonstrators marching to the Maryvale Estrella Mountain police station. 

Other people left flowers and candles in the driveway of the home where the shooting occurred.

Phoenix City Councilman Carlos Garcia shared the video on his Facebook page, saying: 'It does not shock us that despite all the scrutiny from community Phoenix PD continues to respond violently to calls.

'But, we must all continue to ask for transparency and accountability. The department also issued a premature statement leaving out facts about the case. 

'We cannot allow for dishonest narratives to be built by violent departments. we will continue to call for independent investigations into officer involved shootings.'

The police department has also urged witnesses to send in any video of the officer-involved shooting.
