Fleeing Theft Suspect Dead, 2 San Francisco Police Officers Injured After Being Struck by Vehicle
A Trader Joe’s employee flagged down officers, and the suspect died after a passing car struck all three during the chase, police said.
- On Friday morning, a suspect died and two San Francisco Police Department officers were injured after being struck by a Lexus in Nob Hill during a foot pursuit following an alleged theft at Trader Joe's.
- Authorities were summoned to the Trader Joe's at California and Hyde streets at 7:40 a.m. to investigate a reported theft, but the suspect resisted detention and fled on foot into the street.
- San Francisco Police Officers Association President Louis Wong described the confrontation as a "violent struggle" in the street, where images showed both officers pinned beneath the Lexus before firefighters rendered aid.
- Public Information Officer Robert Rueca confirmed the driver of the Lexus remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators while police continue piecing together the series of events.
- Separately, firefighters extinguished a burning Tesla in the same parking lot around 6:30 a.m., which authorities deemed unrelated to the theft; the Trader Joe's expects to reopen on Saturday.
