As the witness reported what he saw, the dispatcher with whom he spoke could hear scream in the background, according to the Cortez police. The caller continued to describe the suspect, who increased the rifle in the direction of a passing vehicle, then faced with a cyclist, argued with him, directed a gun on him and shot a round into the ground. A surveillance camera recorded pictures of the encounter.

The patrol staff arrived in the neighborhood a short time later, discovered Cortez and ordered him to have pulled her weapons to drop his gun. Instead, he went to a parked white Ford F-1550, climbed the wheel and drove east.

In the nearby Cypress Street, the suspect allegedly fired four shots into the air inside the pick -up and then fled further towards San Ysidro Boulevard.

With the officials who persecuted in numerous patrol cars and on board a striped helicopter on board a helicopter, Cortez fled north on the Interstate 5 to accelerate and occasionally swung back and forth over the highway.
Sometimes the suspect waved the arms of the driver of the truck with the arms, and he caused almost several collisions when he traveled through Chula Vista and National City, the police said. A camera in the police helicopter recorded a video of the persecution.

The suspect reached the outskirts of the city center of San Diego and abruptly stayed in the middle of the highway, his truck looked over several alleys on the side. He stayed there for about a minute, waved and gestured with his hands to the inpatient crossers of the officials before accelerating again in the north.

The suspect drove to the Pershing Drive east of the SDPD headquarters, then drove past the southern edge of the Balboa Park Golf Course, drove through the Golden Hill Park and fled further south and east.

Finally, when Cortez reached a dead end north of State Route 94 and south of the E Street, Cortez made a failed attempt to turn and double. Instead, he sent his truck into the front of an oncoming patrol car and fell into the front of a nearby house.

At that time, an official drove behind Cortez 'truck, pounded it and the police surrounded the vehicle, their service troops trained in the driver's seat.

The suspect then tried in vain to move away from the damaged at home, turn the engine of the truck and turn its tires uselessly, with clouds made of gray -white smoke.

Moments later SDPD SGTS. Richard Curtis and Bryan Shields opened the fire on Cortez with a rifle and a pistol and took a total of around 15 laps.

The officers then carefully appeared when picking up, pulling out the fatally wounded suspect and tried in vain to revive him with CPR.

According to the police, the investigators found a rifle and a gun in the spherical truck.
