On Sunday morning shortly after 5:00 am an officer of the Fort Wayne Police Department observed a suspicious vehicle in the area of Lake and Coliseum. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle at which time the vehicle sped away and a short pursuit began. A short time later the pursuit was terminated by the officer due to the speed and unsafe conditions.
Officers were then advised that there was an accident being reported in the area of Lake and Anthony and the description of the possible vehicle involved was the same as that of the vehicle that was involved in the pursuit. Crews then arrived on the scene at the accident and located a vehicle in the rear of a home on Forest Park Blvd that had crashed through the rear fences.
Upon investigation, officers did find a victim inside the vehicle who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say his death has been ruled a homicide.
