Andrew Bolden-Velez

Pursuit

New Haven Police said they responded to a carjacking report shortly after midnight. A little more than an hour later an officer spotted the stolen car, called for backup, and began pursuing the suspects. Once reinforcements arrived, police tried to stop the car, only for the driver to take off again. Minutes later, police came upon the Highlander, which had crashed into the Congregation Beth El Keser Synagogue, killing Tommy Brown and his passenger Andrew Bolden-Velez.
