Police said around the same time, about a street over from the fight, a female flagged down officers and said a man identified as Jalen Foster pulled up in a black Kia to a residence as a group of people were outside, pointed a large, black rifle-style gun at them and said, “Imma shoot this (expletive) out.”

According the affidavit, officers saw the black Kia as they were arriving on scene and attempted a traffic stop but the driver refused to pull over, so they initiated a pursuit.

Records show the Kia was going 70 or 80 mph in a 25 mph residential area. The pursuit ended after the Kia’s tires were hit with stop sticks and the driver eventually stopped in a Walmart parking lot.
