Homicide suspect steals police car, crashes through Ohio home
Police say the suspect was wanted on homicide and aggravated robbery charges, and seven officers were injured before he was taken into custody.
On Thursday, a suspect stole a Dayton Police cruiser and crashed it into a house in the 2300 block of Greenway Avenue following a high-speed pursuit near West Third Street and Gettysburg Avenue.
Authorities link the suspect to a homicide in the 7300 block of Cold Water Court in Miami Township and allegedly committed carjackings in Moraine on Thursday night involving an SUV.
Seven police officers were injured during the apprehension, with six treated and released from the hospital; two people inside the home received medical care for non-life threatening injuries.
Police successfully subdued the suspect after he attempted to attack an officer and seize a weapon, and the Dayton Police Department placed him in custody.
Ohio BCI is assisting the Dayton Police Department with the investigation as authorities work to identify the suspect and homicide victim while compiling criminal charges.
