How they died
Suicide
Ryan M. Harris reportedly killed himself in an alley while being pursued on foot by officer Jeremy Berg. According to police, Berg tried to stop Harris at around 2:10 a.m. for an illegal turn, but he instead led Berg on a car chase. Harris reportedly turned north into an alley and slowed to 5-10 mph before he jumped out, started to run and fell as the car continued and struck a YMCA building. According to police, Harris got up and was chased on foot by Berg, who was about 10 feet away when he said he saw Harris pull a gun from his belt and shoot himself in the head. Harris died later at a hospital.
