At the start of the shift, Officers Bernard, Chew, Barajas and the remaining Ingleside Units were informed that a charcoal Grey Chevy sedan had possibly been involved in a shooting that took place in the Bayview District earlier in the day. With the information given, Officers Bernard, Chew and Barajas were on patrol in the Visitacion Valley area, when they observed a charcoal Grey Chevy sedan with four occupants inside in the area of Teddy and Delta Street. The officers passed the vehicle and ran the license plate on their computer. The vehicle turned and followed the police vehicle for a short period before turning and headed in the opposite direction. The computer inquiry revealed that the vehicle was registered to Hertz-rent-a-car. The officers then decided to turn around and follow the vehicle, when it suddenly took off at an accelerated speed, as if trying to get away from the officers. The officers followed the same route the vehicle was taking and after several turns saw that the same vehicle had collided with two other vehicles. Due to the fact that this vehicle matched the same description of the vehicle involved in the shooting, coupled with the fact that it appeared to be attempting to flee the area, the officers jumped into action and immediately detained the occupants. Officers Cassinelli and Quintero arrived on scene to assist. Officer Cassinelli smelled marijuana coming from inside the vehicle and a search was then conducted. Officer Cassinelli found a plastic pill bottle containing marijuana. Officer Barajas also helped in the search and found a Silver handgun concealed underneath the front passenger seat. The driver, who was on active felony probation, and the front passenger, a known gang member, were placed under arrest and transported to Ingleside Station.
