Name withheld by police

How they died

Pursuit

Police responded to Pink Slip Nightclub in Brooklyn for a call that a person in the alleyway was displaying a weapon. When a Brooklyn Police officer arrived about 3 a.m., he started talking to a group of people in the alley, and as they were talking, a black Nissan truck drove away from the area. A person in the crowd told the officer the driver was the one who had the weapon. The officer drove after the truck and turned on his emergency lights. The truck sped up away. A man was driving and a woman was in the passenger seat. As the driver drove away, the truck crashed, flipped over and burst into flames near the McKinley Bridge. Both people in the truck were killed in the crash.
