Dozens of police cars lined road as a procession of officers brought Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire’s body to the Allegheny County medical examiner’s office Monday night.
Allegheny County police said Tuesday that state police had tried to stop Aaron Lamont Swan Jr., 28, of nearby Duquesne, on Route 22 on probation violations involving weapons Sunday evening, but he fled.
After multiple police departments and a SWAT team responded for the suspect considered armed and dangerous, the stolen vehicle was spotted in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood. After a short pursuit, the car crashed in the city’s Homewood-Brushton neighborhood and Swan again fled on foot into a wooded area.
On Monday evening, dozens of police cars lined the southbound lanes of Route 28 as a procession of officers brought McIntire’s body to the Allegheny County medical examiner’s office. Dozens of officers from departments across the county lined Pittsburgh streets as the procession passed, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
