Overview
- California Highway Patrol officers pursued a black Range Rover SUV that was seen weaving through heavy traffic on the southbound 101 Freeway in Hollywood before exiting into neighborhood streets.
- Aerial video showed the driver repeatedly crossing lanes, at times reaching very high speeds on freeways and surface streets while evading at least two trailing CHP patrol cars.
- The chase crossed into the San Gabriel Valley and ended in Montebello when a trailing patrol car executed a PIT/ram maneuver on a residential street and officers pulled the driver from the vehicle and took them into custody.
- Authorities have not released the suspect's identity, the specific homicide details tying the person to that crime, or whether there were passengers or a weapon in the SUV.
- Police say PIT maneuvers are a standard tactic to stop dangerous drivers but carry public risk, and investigators are continuing the homicide inquiry and will release more information after booking and review.
