A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper shot a suspected car thief after the driver allegedly led police on a lengthy high-speed pursuit.
At approximately 9 p.m. on Friday night, a Texas DPS trooper attempted to stop a reportedly stolen vehicle on Highway 57 just north of Eagle Pass, according to a local law enforcement source not authorized to speak to the media. The driver allegedly refused to stop and led police on a dangerous nighttime high-speed pursuit.
The pursuit ended when the driver lost control and crashed on Highway 57 near 2nd Street in Eagle Pass. The shooting is being investigated by Texas Rangers, according to DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez. DPS officials had no further information to release at this time. A different source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart the area is “notorious for migrant smuggling.”
