On this date at about 1200hrs W-1 who works at the Woodtrails Apartments located at 9001 Wurzbach saw
Ap exiting Apt. 1921. W states that he and the maintenance crew confronted the Ap because the Ap does
not reside at location. When confronted by W the Ap jumps into the stolen vehicle and rams the W 's 2004
Ford P/U Tx - intentionally. (SAPD 80340736). The Ap then flees the location in listed stolen
vehicle.(Sapd # 80330049).

Officer Urdiales while on the quadrant observes the listed stolen vehicle going southbound in the 5400 blk
of Evers. The Officer at this time turns his vehicle around and follows the vehicle into the Jack in the Box
parking lot located at Evers /Glenridge. The officer at this time confronts the Ap in the stolen vehicle and
orders him to stop at gunpoint. The Ap disregards the officer and flees through the Big Lots parking lot and
onto northbound Evers. The offlcer states he jumps into his police vehice and then has to wait for cross
traffic to clear before entering onto Evers. Officer states that he lost visual of Ap's vehicle montentarily due
to a small hill in the 5400 blk. of Evers. Officers states that he then continues northbound on Evers and
assumes that the Ap is also northbound. Officer passes the intersection of Evers/Wurzbach and continues
northbound until he get a visual of the Ap who is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile in front of him. Officer is granted
permisson to pursue. Officer advises that the trafflc is light and that he is going about 45mph.

Forest Bend and again at Evers at Poss Rd. Officers states that their was no cross traffic at either
intersection. I let the pursue continue and monitor for any hadzardous conditions. Officers states that when
he reached the intersection of Evers at Poss Rd he can see the Ap vehicle go into the southbound lanes of
Evers and attempts to go around 2-3 vehicles that are stopped at the intersection of Evers and Huebner Rd.
The Ap at this time instead crashes into Unit # 2 who was making a left turn from westbound Huebner onto
southbound Evers. Unit #1 who was behind Unit # 2 then crashes into Unit # 2. The officer then sees the Ap
exit the vehicle and flee on foot. A Leon Valley officer who was at the intersection also observed the Ap
exit the stolen vehicle.

I arrived at the scene within minutes and see that a Leon Officer has the accident scene. Accident scene is
located in Leon Valley. He advises me that he would take charge of the accident. 1 quicky checked on the
two drivers not aware that a passenger in Unit# 2 had been transported by EMS already. I assumed that their
was only minor injuries so I set up a quadrant to locate the Ap who had fled the location on foot. I then
proceeded to work the quadrant and move it as the officers were chasing the Ap on foot. 1 was at the scene

I then had the Ap and the officers return to the accident scene. Upon arrival at the accident scene I
observed that the accident scene was being cleared. I asked the Leon Valley officers why they had moved
the vehicles at a crime scene and they advised me that the accident was blocking traffic. I then again
checked on the drivers of vehicles and asked EMS how they were doing and was advised that they were ok
but that a female passenger was in critical condition. I then asked the officers why they has moved the scene
knowing that someone might expire. I got the same answer " blocking the intersection". I then contacted
TID who responded to the scene. Upon their arrival they took charge of the accident scene. I then had the
Ap returned to Prue Property Crimes Section where Ap admitted to another Robbery that happen on May
05 at the Subway located at 2414 Babcock (Sapd 803336938). Det. Casas # 2434 and J. Mckinney # 2033
with TID were notified and they made the accident scene.
