The dark-colored Honda Accord matched specific characteristics of a suspect vehicle linked to the shooting that left nine people hurt over the weekend, Chief Inspector Scott Small told the outlet.
Once the suspect was taken into custody following the chase, it became clear to investigators that he was not associated with the incident, CBS says citing police.
The chase began Wednesday, Nov. 9 around 9:30 p.m., at Frankford and Allegheny avenues, when Philadelphia officers spotted the Honda with dark tints and after-market headlights, authorities said.
The vehicle headed out of Philadelphia and into New Jersey down Route 73, and ended in the parking lot of the Bradley’s Funeral Home in Evesham, where the suspect fled on foot, local police said.
A responding Evesham officer nabbed the suspect on foot and took him into custody without incident, a short distance from the location he fled the vehicle. A second suspect was at large.
