A man wanted for an alleged parole violation led Antioch, [California] officers on a car chase Thursday before crashing into a police cruiser and being shot to death, authorities said.
David John Lopez, 26, who was on parole for possession of stolen property, refused to stop when detectives tried to pull him over for the unspecified parole violation about 4 p.m., police said.
He led officers on a chase that ended at East 13th Street and Hillcrest Avenue when he crashed into a cruiser.
The crash led to a confrontation that resulted in Lopez being shot, said acting police Capt. Leonard Orman. Police have not said whether Lopez was armed.
The names of the officers involved have not been released. The shooting is being investigated by police and the Contra Costa County district attorney.
Lopez died at a hospital. He had no fixed address, the coroner said.
A 25-year-old woman who was in the car with Lopez was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant. Police did not specify the crime, and her name has not been released.
