'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.'
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. Nguyen 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.
