Vehic/Purs
Marisol Mercado died after her Saturn was hit by a Pontiac Grand Am fleeing police. James Brown, 34, had allegedly shot a friend twice in the leg after an argument at around 11:35 p.m. in the 100 block S. Springfield Avenue. Officers heard the shots, saw the Grand Am leaving the area and tried to stop the car. Brown stopped for a moment, but then fled, allegedly dropping a gun out the window. Brown ran a red light and crashed into Mercado's car, a Chevrolet Suburban and another other. Mercado was killed. Brown and three other people were injured.
