The officers pursued the suspects, who eventually dismounted the vehicle and got away. The stolen car was recovered.
According to WAPT, one individual -known by his Facebook moniker “Nawffside Oudaa”- is the subject of a manhunt due to his link to the crime.
“This individual, possibly armed and dangerous, allegedly involved with officer involved shooting on Meadows Street,” JPD said on Facebook. “Call police w/ info.”
