On 04/19/2026 at approximately 4:35 p.m., Milher Moreno Lopez was riding as the front-seat passenger in a 2003 Toyota Corolla driven by his brother, Darvelio Moreno Lopez, 20, near the intersection of State Route 17 and Stratford Road in Moses Lake. As the Toyota attempted to turn from northbound State Route 17 onto Stratford Road, it struck a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Savana R. Oliphant, 19, of Moses Lake. The impact forced the Jeep off the roadway, where it struck a light pole and rolled into a ditch. Oliphant sustained injuries and was transported to Samaritan Hospital. Instead of stopping as required by law, Darvelio continued driving away from the collision, resulting in the incident being investigated as a felony hit-and-run.
Grant County Sheriff's Office deputies located the Toyota approximately 30 minutes later and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Darvelio continued driving away while deputies pursued eastbound from the Moses Lake area. The pursuit followed Wheeler Road, which becomes Road 3 Northeast, and continued for approximately nine miles through rural Grant County. Investigators reported that the Toyota reached high speeds as deputies attempted to stop it.
As the pursuit approached the intersection of Road 3 Northeast and Road U Northeast, Darvelio crossed the centerline into the westbound lane and collided head-on with a westbound 2005 Dodge Ram pickup driven by Nevin J. Anderson, 24, of Warden. The force of the collision destroyed the Toyota and caused catastrophic damage to both vehicles. Darvelio and Milher suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Anderson survived the collision and was transported to Samaritan Hospital with injuries. Investigators reported that he had been wearing a seat belt. Authorities were unable to immediately determine whether either occupant of the Toyota had been restrained.

On 04/17/2026 at approximately 2:45 p.m., members of the Michigan State Police Emergency Support Team and Second District Special Investigation Section were preparing to execute a search warrant at a residence in Inkster as part of an investigation into the homicide of two teenagers. As troopers approached the residence, a 19-year-old male suspect exited the home, entered a sport utility vehicle with a female passenger, and drove away. Troopers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver continued driving away while Michigan State Police pursued.

On 04/14/2026 shortly after midnight, Caleb Jesus Ramirez Martinez was one of three people traveling in an older-model pickup truck that had been reported stolen from Hollister. An automated alert first notified Gilroy Police Department officers that the truck had entered Gilroy. Gilroy officers saw the vehicle, but it left the city before they attempted a traffic stop.
Morgan Hill Police Department officers later located the truck traveling northbound on Monterey Road near Middle Avenue. Officers attempted to stop the truck in the 14000 block of Monterey Road, but the driver continued driving away. Officers encountered the truck again in the 15000 block of Monterey Road and made another stop attempt. During that encounter, the truck struck a tree and a large trash container near responding officers and continued south toward Gilroy. Morgan Hill police then pursued the truck.
The pursuit continued southbound on Monterey Road into Gilroy. The truck entered the intersection of Monterey Road and Leavesley Road against a red traffic signal. Morgan Hill officers slowed before entering the intersection so cross traffic could clear, causing them to briefly lose sight of the truck.
After officers cleared the intersection and continued south, they found that the truck had crashed into the center median and a light pole on Monterey Road near First Street, in front of St. Mary’s Church. The truck overturned, ejecting Caleb, Andre Zayven Martinez and a third occupant. Police officers and paramedics provided emergency treatment, but Caleb and Andre died at the scene. The third occupant sustained critical injuries and was flown to a trauma center.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner later identified the deceased as Caleb Jesus Ramirez Martinez, 19, and Andre Zayven Martinez, 16. Although some initial news reports referred to Andre as “Andrew,” his family obituary identifies him as Andre Zayven Martinez. Investigators stated that one of the two deceased occupants was believed to have been driving, but publicly available reporting did not establish which person was behind the wheel.
