He was fleeing from a home invasion he had just done. I am not even marginally upset they killed him. I only wish it had happened before he wrecked everybody's cars. If he had surrendered, he'd be alive. His death is 100% on him. So is any grief his family may experience.
Now we know all the pertinent facts, thanks TAM. One last interesting thing, during the chase on the freeway I noticed the passenger side back window open and what looked like a bag of white substance dumped/tossed out. Assuming it was drugs, did these geniuses bring a bag of dope along to a home invasion or is that what they stole?
I don't know. I was watching the news coverage, and they said that he was fleeing from the scene of a home invasion, but there were no more details at that time.
