Overview
- Edwaun Walter Thames, 39, was named as the man shot after a chase from Lincoln Park to La Presa.
- Officials say body-camera video shows Thames lean toward an object that appeared to be a firearm moments before SDPD Officer Henry Ingram Jr. fired two shots.
- Thames was released from medical care and booked on suspicion of auto theft, possession of a stolen vehicle and felony evasion, with bail set at $50,000.
- The pursuit began after a stolen-vehicle report near Euclid and Imperial, included spike strips, and ended in a crash at Jamacha Road and Gillespie Drive that toppled a light pole onto a patrol car, injuring an officer.
- Investigators identified Ingram as having about two years with SDPD, and the case will be reviewed by the District Attorney after the sheriff’s probe is complete.
