Authorities have identified the 24-year-old man who was captured after an hours-long manhunt Friday in Ellis County.
This started just after 1 p.m., when the Ellis County Sheriff's Office was contacted by the Navarro County Sheriff's Office to report that someone in a flatbed tow truck struck a Rice police officer’s police vehicle.
The suspect, later identified as Lorenzo Marquez Jr., fled the scene, and the truck was last seen heading north on Oak Grove Road toward Ellis County. Minutes later, an Ellis County Sheriff's Office deputy reported seeing the truck run a stop sign near Hwy. 287 and Ensign Road in Ennis. The deputy then reported that he fired shots after the truck "rammed" his vehicle. Authorities said the police vehicle had been pushed 38 feet.Authorities said Marquez lost control while trying to evade the trooper, and the truck rolled from the service road to a field.
