On 02/03/25 at around 1310 hours, I was dispatched to 14025 Abercorn St, Shell gas station, regarding an accident with injuries.
Upon arrival, I saw a red SUV parked in front of the car wash and a female lying inside the bay. I also noticed several Firemen rendering aid to her. The female was bleeding heavily from her nose and mouth. I also noticed that her right leg was probably broken. The female was identified as [VICTIM #1]. I asked Ms. [VICTIM #1] what happened. She said her husband hit her with the vehicle and pointed at the red Chevrolet Equinox. I then asked her where he was. She and other witnesses stated he ran towards Dillard’s parking lot, 14025 Abercorn St. She told me he was a light-skinned male wearing a gray sweater and blue jeans, and he was 6’6” tall. I immediately relayed his description and his direction of travel to the responding officers. Ms. [VICTIM #1] was transported to Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
The vehicle that hit Ms. [VICTIM #1] was a red 2018 Chevrolet Equinox with tag [REDACTED], registered to Ms. [VICTIM #1].
I observed damages to the driver’s door and the rear bumper. In addition, I saw blood stains on the ground and a Loop earring. There was also a blood stain where Ms. [VICTIM #1] lay. The left rear tire was busted, and the rim was broken. The vehicle was inoperable.
The witness [WITNESS #1] stated the suspect wore a gray sweater and blue jeans. Ms. [WITNESS #1] then mentioned that the suspect used Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle and hit her. She then noted that the male hit Ms. [VICTIM #1] multiple times and attempted to run her over on the curb. Ms. [WITNESS #1]’s friend [WITNESS #2] confirmed her statement and pointed to the last known direction of the suspect.
I then interviewed the other witnesses [WITNESS #3] and [WITNESS #4]. Both individuals watched as the incident took place. Mr. [WITNESS #3] said he had witnessed the red SUV (Chevrolet) reverse on top of the female. The female got up, and the vehicle reversed over her again. The female got up and ran on the sidewalk, and that’s when the driver drove on top of the sidewalk and tried to hit her, but he missed. She then ran to the carwash.
[WITNESS #4] stated she witnessed when the red vehicle reversed on top of the lady two times from Apache Ave by the curb. The victim got up and ran inside the car wash, and the driver hit her again twice. Ms. [WITNESS #4] stated the vehicle ran over the lady four to five times. After the last hit, the driver ran toward Dillard’s parking lot. Ms. [WITNESS #4] reported when she sat on the sidewalk with her dog, the vehicle almost hit her.
The on-duty supervisor, forensics, and family violence detective responded.
The red Chevrolet Equinox was towed to 3401 Edwin St. by Everready towing.
