Caught on Camera: High-speed chase, shootout ends at Georgia gas station

A civilian dashboard camera captured what police in Georgia called a “running gun battle” as a black SUV being pursued by police crashed into a sign at a gas station – and the two suspects inside came out shooting.

The dramatic scene unfolded last Friday at a RaceTrac gas station in DeKalb County, Georgia. DeKalb County Director of Public Safety Cedric Alexander told WSBTV News that police began tailing the SUV in question as part of a gun running investigation.

When officers turned on their sirens and tried to pull them over the SUV took off with police giving chase.

A short time later, Levar Morris was driving down Northlake Parkway on his way home from a doctor’s appointment when the high-speed chase blew past him – and his dashboard camera captured the whole thing.

“It just flew past me. It was going like 60-70 miles (per hour). Then it hit the RaceTrac sign. After that the police flew past me. The guys in the SUV, two of them, jumped out,” Morris told WSBTV. “After that, the police jumped out and they just started firing. It was so fast.”

Footage shows the black SUV slam into a sign at the gas station, and the two suspects emerge from the passenger-side window. As police cruisers arrive on the scene, the two men pull out handguns and begin firing as they sprinted across the parking lot.

“This was a running gun battle,” Cedric Alexander said. “The (officers) were taking deliberate shots, but we had bad guys who didn’t really care, they just fired at random.”

Police confirm that Officer Marco Vizcarrondo was shot in the shoulder during the exchange of gunfire. He was airlifted to an area hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

One of the suspects surrendered to police at the scene, while the other was tracked down by a police K-9 unit a short time later.

DeKalb County Police say Rome Crow, 21, and Isiah McCray, 24, face charges of aggravated assault against a police officer and felony obstruction.
