A jaw-dropping video has surfaced, showing a suspect in an armed robbery livestreaming his high-speed escape on Instagram.
The dramatic chase involved the suspect, his girlfriend, and their baby in the car.
The suspect, who remains unnamed, broadcasted his frantic attempts to dodge police, clearly terrified of returning to prison.
In the video, he tells his girlfriend, referred to as Deon, “This is the sheriffs; they’re going to kill me,” while speeding up to 80mph. “Bro, they’re going to smoke me.”
His girlfriend’s distress is palpable.
“Just let us out of the car,” she pleads. “Bro, just pull over and put your hands up. My baby is in the car, Deon, just let us out! You’re not thinking about our baby; you’re going to get our baby killed!”
A Tense Standoff
The suspect, currently on parole, appears visibly anxious as his girlfriend begs him to stop.
Despite her pleas, he insists, “I don’t want to go back to jail, I don’t.” He eventually veers off onto a dead-end street in the Blair Hills area of Culver City.
After about an hour, law enforcement surrounded the vehicle.
The suspect was seen with his hands raised through the window, wiping away tears. Following a brief standoff, he showed his child to the officers before he and his girlfriend exited the car. They embraced their baby, with the father kissing the child on the head before kneeling and surrendering to the police.
Family Arrested
The couple was taken into custody, while their daughter was handed over to a deputy who comforted and fed the baby. “I saw she was just crying, so I wanted to soothe her and make sure she was okay,” Deputy Adriana Martinez told KTLA. “It was just motherly instinct.
I was glad I was there and able to take care of her.”
Ongoing Investigation
According to KTLA, the child sustained injuries.
The suspect is suspected of being involved in several armed robberies in Beverly Hills with two accomplices.
While two of the suspects were quickly apprehended, the father evaded capture until spotted in Hawthorne, leading to the high-speed chase.
During the pursuit, he narrowly missed a Metro bus, ran red lights and stop signs, swerved through traffic, and drove on the wrong side of the road.
