A suspect shot at LasVegas officers, fled at dangerous speeds and attempted multiple carjackings during a police chase that was caught on aerial footage and police body cameras.
Las Vegas police have released dramatic footage of a chase with a violent suspect that involved multiple carjacking attempts, crashes and a shootout with officers.
At one point, officers pulled up next to the vehicle to attempt a PIT maneuver. The suspect is seen firing two rounds from his window at the officers as they pull up behind. The chase ended and he was taken into custody after he intentionally crossed over lanes of traffic to ram a police K9 vehicle at 67 mph, investigators say. The force of the impact disabled his own vehicle and officers were able to take him into custody.
The suspect has been identified as Justin Venegas, 40. He was treated at a local hospital and then released into police custody.
