JaneshaHarris, 35, and Jamarea Keyes, 38, were third parties driving down the street who were killed by a police chase crash when their BMW was struck by a 2006 Cadillac STS that was “speeding” due to being hunted by police.
LAPD claim they called off the chase and turned off their lights and sirens. The crash occurred less than five seconds after the sirens and lights were turned off, as is commonly the case.
Jasmine Mines, an attorney representing the Keyes and Harris families, said the newly released video shows inconsistencies with LAPD’s initial account of events.
“Even though the sirens were off, the officers were clearly still in pursuit. Initially, the LAPD officers stated they retreated and there were 15 seconds from the time they retreated to the time of the collision that ended in fatality. LAPD stated they were not engaged in any chase,” Mines said.
The dashcam video shows the officers chasing the Cadillac through at least four intersections with their lights and sirens on.

REASON FOR CHASE: A U.S. Border Patrol agent observed a black Toyota Tacoma drive through a ranch fence gate near U.S. Highway 90 approximately eight miles west of Uvalde, enter the highway recklessly and travel east toward Uvalde with multiple occupants. The agent followed the truck and activated emergency lights after it slowed toward the shoulder. Ramos accelerated away at high speed. Border Patrol requested assistance from the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office and Uvalde Police Department, and the attempted stop developed into a multi-agency pursuit.
.
NARRATIVE:
On 09/28/2022, at approximately 5:54 p.m., a U.S. Border Patrol agent driving an unmarked agency vehicle westbound on U.S. Highway 90 toward the Uvalde Border Patrol Station checkpoint observed a black Toyota Tacoma drive through a ranch fence gate near the eastbound lanes approximately eight miles west of Uvalde. The agent reported seeing the pickup drive recklessly into the median and enter eastbound U.S. 90 toward Uvalde with multiple occupants. The agent radioed the observation and requested that the Uvalde County Sheriff's Office and Uvalde Police Department be contacted to intercept the truck.
.
The Border Patrol agent turned around and followed the Tacoma eastbound for approximately one mile. When the pickup slowed and moved toward the shoulder, the agent activated the Border Patrol vehicle's emergency lights. Ramos then returned to the eastbound travel lanes and accelerated toward Uvalde at high speed. The agent continued behind the truck while broadcasting its direction and location. The agent eventually radioed that he could no longer maintain visual contact because of the Tacoma's speed.
.
A Uvalde Police Department officer intercepted the Tacoma and successfully deployed a tire-deflation device. At approximately 5:59 p.m., the first Border Patrol agent radioed that the tire-deflation device had been successfully deployed. A second Border Patrol agent driving a marked patrol vehicle then observed the Tacoma traveling eastbound at high speed and pursued it.
.
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper traveling westbound on U.S. 90 subsequently saw the Tacoma traveling in the highway median while being pursued by a Border Patrol vehicle with its emergency lights activated. The DPS trooper activated emergency equipment, made a U-turn and joined behind the marked Border Patrol vehicle as the pursuit continued east toward Uvalde.
.
At approximately 6:00 p.m., Border Patrol agents reported losing sight of the Tacoma. Approximately one minute later, an agent reported that the truck had been involved in a three-vehicle collision at Main Street and Getty Street in central Uvalde. The Tacoma collided with a semi-tractor-trailer and a Dodge Dakota. Agents requested emergency medical assistance within seconds of discovering the crash.
.
Anahi Ramos, 17, an Austin resident and Mexican citizen, was driving the Tacoma and was killed in the collision. An unidentified male passenger, also a Mexican citizen, was killed. Eight additional occupants of the Tacoma were injured and transported to hospitals. The drivers of the other two vehicles were also taken to hospitals and were subsequently reported to have non-critical injuries. Contemporary Uvalde police reporting initially described 10 people hospitalized in addition to the two fatalities.
.
The Texas Department of Public Safety led the crash investigation. CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility reviewed the incident, and the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General was notified. CBP did not publicly release its detailed account until January 2023, more than three months after the fatal pursuit; CBP attributed the delayed public posting to an internal delay and stated that congressional notifications had been completed in a timely manner.

Vondreece Davis died early Saturday when his vehicle crashed head-on with another car on Pierson Road east of Martin Luther King Avenue in Flint as a result of a police chase. While police did not notify the family, they learned of the fatal crash from what they call “a block of witnesses” who told Davis that her son was at a local nightclub Friday night when police were clearing the lot. Vondreece pulled out of the parking lot and several Flint police cars followed. Three police cars began chasing him until he crashed into another vehicle and died. Some time after the accident, his mother complained that she was never contacted by police, could not get any answers and her car had vanished in the accident and police did not answer questions.

REASON FOR CHASE: Police chased a vehicle based on a man with a gun call.

NARRATIVE:
On 09/16/2022, 21-year-old Dylan Godell-Chandler was killed when a silver SUV crashed down an embankment during an encounter with Chicago Police Department Officers Christopher Gonzalez and Kevin Hartwig near 4131 S. Oakenwald Avenue.
.
Police had received a report of a person with a gun near 41st Street and Oakenwald Avenue. Surveillance video showed Godell-Chandler with a handgun before he entered the rear passenger seat of the SUV. Gonzalez and Hartwig arrived in an unmarked police vehicle with emergency lights activated and ordered the occupants to show their hands.
.
The driver reversed away while Godell-Chandler was partially outside the open rear passenger door. Gonzalez entered the police vehicle, activated the siren and drove behind the SUV. Seconds later, the open passenger door struck a tree and the SUV went down an embankment. Godell-Chandler was ejected and suffered fatal blunt-force injuries.
.
COPA investigated whether Gonzalez improperly initiated a vehicle pursuit. It found insufficient evidence to prove that allegation because the SUV crashed almost immediately after fleeing. COPA did sustain an allegation that Gonzalez failed to activate his body-worn camera on time and recommended a five-day suspension.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
Officer Christopher Gonzalez joined CPD in July 2019. COPA reported that he had two previous reprimands, including one for failing to timely activate his body-worn camera and another for a preventable accident. Officer Kevin Hartwig was Gonzalez's partner during the incident.
