Suicide

Officers were first called to a Taco Bell at about 5:10 p.m. for a report of a woman who had been assaulted. Officers found a 22-year-old woman at the restaurant who told them she had been assaulted by a former boyfriend who had stolen her car. She told police the 41-year-old former boyfriend showed up at her place of business and asked her for a ride and she complied. Soon after getting into the other, the man asked her to pull into a parking lot and started to assault the woman and placed her hands in zip ties. She was able to open a door and run to the nearby Taco Bell where the doors were locked because of COVID-19. An employee let her in the restaurant, and the man took off in her other. About 30 minutes later, Yakima Police spotted the other, and a chase started. A Yakima County Sheriff's Deputy joined the pursuit and rammed the other, but the chase continued. The suspect finally stopped the other, pulled out a gun and shot and killed himself.
