We are saddened to announce the sudden passing of #SLMPD 5th District Captain William Brown, who passed away on Sunday. Capt. Brown proudly served the City of St. Louis for 30 years. He will be sorely missed.
Please keep his family & friends in prayer during this difficult time.
St. Louis is safer tonight with this suspect, who had total disregard for our community, behind bars.
Just before 4:00PM, while on patrol, District 1 officers spotted a carjacked Dodge Challenger in the area of Keokuk and Ray. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled at a high rate of speed.
While pursuing the vehicle through S. Broadway and Lafayette our police SUV, which had its emergency lights and siren activated, was involved in a crash with a Toyota sedan.
The officers and the occupants of the vehicle involved in the crash were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay.
With the help of the Real-Time Crime Center, officers relocated the carjacked vehicle downtown leading to another pursuit with the wanted vehicle. It ultimately ended at Forest Park and Sarah Avenue when the carjacked vehicle was involved in an accident with another vehicle.
Officers chased the suspect on foot and took him into custody. He had a loaded firearm and a large amount of suspected narcotics.
