How they died

Pursuit

Around 7:40 p.m. the Stafford County Sheriff's Office received a report of a burglary and responded. Daontre Kalio Waters, 25, allegedly broke into a residence and was interrupted by the owner returning home. Waters restrained the owner and jacked his silver SUV. Deputies spotted the SUV and a pursuit ensued. One deputy performed a successful PIT maneuver and as Waters spun to a stop the second deputy got out of his other and attempted to arrest Waters. Waters allegedly rammed the second officer's other, and the other sent the deputy flying. Driving against the traffic, Waters escaped only to crash head on into a other driven by Martha Chavez, 61, killing Chavez and seriously injuring her passenger. Waters survived and was charged with felony murder, felony eluding and attempted capital murder.
