Innocent bystander dies in crash linked to police pursuit for domestic violence
( — The Sacramento Police Department released more information on Saturday night after an innocent bystander died after being involved in a 7-vehicle crash that was caused by a man who fled from police after a June 1 domestic call. According to SPD, on June 1, officers received a report of domestic violence in the 7300 block of Farm Dale Way. The suspect has been identified as Daniel Cunningham, 33, of Sacramento, who fled before officers arrived at the scene. At around 10:15 a.m. Saturday morning, SPD stated that the officers were called back 7300 block of Farm Dale Way for a request for a civil standby. The victim from June 1, who police said was assaulted by Cunningham, called and requested assistance to gather her stuff from the home. An officer conducted records checks and had determined that Cunningham was a parolee at large who had an active felony warrant for his arrest, SPD said. While the officers were on scene, another officer saw that he was in a vehicle close by. Bystander dies in 7-vehicle crash amid high-speed police chase in Sacramento 'This suspect had a fresh domestic violence want for his arrest,' said an SPD Officer Anthony Gamble. 'He was also a parolee at large, and so our officers had an obligation to bring this person to justice.' At this time, officers activated their emergency lights and sirens to attempt to stop the vehicle, but Cunningham failed to yield to the officers, which started a small pursuit, according to SPD. The officers lost sight of his vehicle. Gamble said, 'He made the decision to run, he made the decision to drive at a high rate of speed. He put himself and everyone else's lives in danger by his actions, and he caused this collision that took the life of someone who was not involved in this whatsoever.' The vehicle traveled westbound on Florin Road and ultimately crashed into seven vehicles at the intersection of Florin Road and Greenhaven Drive in South Sacramento, SPD said. An adult male who was in one of the vehicles that was struck by Cunningham was pronounced dead at the scene by fire personnel. SPD stated that Cunningham fled from the vehicle on foot but was arrested by officers and a K9. He was then taken to a local hospital for medical treatment and has been cleared for incarceration. Cunningham has been booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on charges related to parole violation, domestic violence, and felony pursuit charges, according to SPD. Pedestrian dies from injuries sustained in Modesto crash SPD reached out to CHP and requested its Major Accident Investigation Team to conduct a collision investigation to determine if there will be more charges added relating to the crash. The identity of the decedent will be released by the Sacramento County Coroner's Office after the next of kin has been notified, SPD said.

According to the Inter American Press Association, Diana Turbay "died on January 25, 1991 in a police operation in which she received a deadly gunshot wound to the back." Diana Turbay and several others "were held under the command of Pablo Escobar, head of the Medellín Cartel, who had set a trap for them," the site reported. She was the editor of a weekly news magazine, according to The Tampa Bay Times. What was the motive? "She had been kidnapped by Escobar to put pressure on the then president, César Gaviria, to overturn the extradition agreement with the United States," the Association says. NBC News confirmed the familial relationship between Uribe Turbay and Diana Turbay. Diana Turbay "had been held on a ranch near the town of Guarne, nine miles north of Medellin in northeast Colombia, and was being guarded by armed sentinels when police special forces attacked," UPI reported in Uribe's Mom Diana Turbay Was Murdered Journalist first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025
