Early Tuesday morning, a dramatic police pursuit involving a red RAM TRX truck unfolded across multiple neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The chase began around 5:00 a.m. in the Wilshire division area after officers identified the vehicle as being linked to a suspected attempted murder.
Authorities suspect the same truck was involved in an earlier pursuit near Beverly Hills for a possible burglary (459). Beverly Hills police had lost track of the vehicle near La Cienega Boulevard and 3rd Street hours before it resurfaced in the city’s downtown area.
The pursuit ended on Grand Avenue just north of Wilshire Boulevard, where the suspect abandoned the truck near Casey’s Bar. The individual attempted to hide in a closet-like space nearby, but authorities believe two additional suspects managed to escape.
Police are investigating the vehicle’s connections to a string of similar pursuits in recent days as the search for the remaining suspects continues.
