How they died
Pursuit
Daniel Allen Lowell, 34, and Trista Schlaefli, then 32, entered a Border Patrol checkpoint on I-10 in a pickup. Agents at the checkpoint discovered the other was previously reported stolen. Agents asked the driver for identification, and he said he didn't have any. Schlaefi gave agents a stolen driver's license, and Lowell was asked to pull into a secondary lane. The pair fled in the pickup and led agents on a high-speed chase through I-10. They allegedly carjacked a family's SUV at gunpoint and continued driving toward Las Cruces. The chase continued through Las Cruces and onto both I-10 and I-25, reaching speeds of up to 110 mph before the SUV drove into oncoming traffic and through a barbed wire fence onto Las Alturas Drive, where the SUV struck J.R. Stewart, who was on a motorcycle, killing him.
