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.
