Suspect shot and killed by police in chase that spanned from Ohio to Pennsylvania
A wild police pursuit that started in Ohio ended in a crash, and the suspect was shot by police.
The crash, in a stolen police car, shut down the Pennsylvania Turnpike in North Sewickley Township for several hours on April 4.
The eastbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Beaver County remain closed as it is still an active scene with police, first responders, and the coroner on the scene.
Footage from the KDKA Drone Team captured an Ohio State Patrol cruiser on its roof on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said it was being driven by a man from Ohio, and it all started with a police chase. Originally, the suspect crashed his car on the Ohio Turnpike. After crashing, a trooper went to check on him, and that's when the suspect fought with the trooper and attempted to steal his gun.
Police said the suspect then stole the trooper's vehicle and led police on a chase across the border into Pennsylvania onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
He then crashed the stolen cruiser on the Pennsylvania Turnpike just outside of Homewood Borough, Beaver County.
Pennsylvania State Police said the man, later identified as 30-year-old Deshawn Dante Leeth of Michigan, was then shot and killed.
The investigation of this incident is ongoing.
