Police Chase to Murray Hill

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

After thwarting a robbery attempt at the Game Stop on 103rd Street the police chased a car with two of the four the suspects to Murray Hill.  Evidently the suspects car hit a parked car on the 4600 block of Post Street causing the car to flip.  The two in the car got out to flee causing the police to shoot and eventually kill one of the suspects, the other was arrested.  The other two suspects tried to run from the scene of the robbery, one was arrested and the other got away.  Total:  two suspects were apprehended, one was shot and killed and one is still on the loose.

It is not clear what prompted the officer to use deadly force, but I am sure that will be investigated and hopefully the officer will be exonerated of any wrong doing.  If anyone has any information on the fourth suspect or was a witness to the car accident and police shooting they are being asked to contact the JSO.
