Los Angeles, California — On August 9, 2023, around 5:50 p.m., Foothill officers received multiple radio calls, ranging from a hit & run traffic collision to a reckless driver driving a Department of Water and Power (DWP) vehicle in the area of 10600 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard. When the officers arrived at scene, their preliminary investigation determined the crime committed was an Assault with a Deadly Weapon by vehicle and broadcast a vehicle description, as a white, full-size sport utility vehicle. Responding officers searching the area located the vehicle and a pursuit ensued. The suspect, later identified as 28–year–old Manuel Ramirez, entered the 5 Freeway. During the pursuit, Ramirez collided with two non-involved vehicles. Ramirez failed to stop, continued on the road and exited at Colorado Boulevard.

Upon exiting, Ramirez drove into a multi–unit business parking lot with no access to passage. Ramirez continued up a steep narrow driveway and rammed through a secured metal gate into a secondary parking lot. Ramirez conducted a U–turn, accelerated the vehicle towards officers and intentionally struck two occupied police vehicles and an uninvolved van that was occupied by a citizen. Ramirez’ vehicle came to a stop at Edenhurst Avenue north Colorado Street and as officers tactically approached an OIS occurred. Ramirez failed to surrender and accelerated the vehicle towards officers which resulted in a second OIS. Ramirez continued to drive a short distance and the vehicle came to stop. Officers verbalized with Ramirez to surrender with no success.
