The suspect in the shooting, 33-year-old Terrill Nelson, drove off from the scene, but was later found thanks to the city’s automated license plate reader technology. After trying to pull the vehicle over, Nelson drove off recklessly and a police chase followed.
Dash camera video obtained through a public records request showed several police officers trail Nelson.
