How they died
Pursuit
Police received a call about an armed robbery around 4:15 a.m. Two men were reported to have stolen a black Kia sport utility other. One of the men had a gun. Around 5:20 a.m., officers saw the other and attempted to stop it. However, the other fled, and officers lost sight of it. A short time later, an officer spotted the SUV about six blocks to the west, as it was driving at a high rate of speed. Seconds later, the officer watched the car crash head on into a black Nissan pickup truck. Ricardo J. Rodriguez, a passenger in the stolen Kia SUV, was killed. Rodriguez was not involved in the carjacking. Police reported officers weren't in pursuit of the SUV at the time of the crash.
