Police arrest attempted murder suspect after vehicle pursuit through South L.A.
Los Angeles police arrested an attempted murder suspect Friday after he led police on a vehicle pursuit through streets in and around South Los Angeles.
The pursuit started just before 12:15 p.m. at 99th Street and Avalon Boulevard, police officials said. The suspect was wanted in connection with an attempted murder and car-jacking that occurred on March 26, near the 101 and San Pedro, police said.
The chase continued near Los Angeles International Airport before heading back into South L.A., with the suspect’s pickup ramming into other vehicles, officials said.
At one point, the truck stopped in the middle of a roadway and a man and two women exited with the man jumping into an SUV that sped off, footage from KTLA-TV Channel 5 showed.
At around 2 p.m., the SUV slowed in West Carson and the man and the female driver jumped out of the vehicle as it was still moving, KTLA footage showed.
The man ran through a neighborhood before being arrested without incident in front of a home.
Three other women were arrested in connection with the pursuit, police officials said.
