A fugitive squad in an unmarked car identified a teenage suspect wanted on armed robbery charges and called on Deputy Daly in his marked cruiser to execute the traffic stop around 3:00 pm.

He was transported to the hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. The suspect fled the scene and remained at large for several hours before he was captured by a tactical team with the aid of a canine.
Disposition:	On August 9, 2012, the suspect was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
