Sparks PD also told RPD that Kupa’a Ke’a way still armed with a gun and was homicidal and suicidal.

Police searched the area of 9th and Montello where they saw the car associated with Kupa’a Ke’a. The driver then headed north Sutro before officers caught up on Sutro and Wells and attempted to conduct a traffic stop.

Kupa’a Ke’a, however, did not stop and fled at a high rate of speed south on Sutro. During the pursuit, Kupa’a Ke’a ran several red lights and nearly collided with several cars before entering into the parking lot at Renown.

Police say Kupa’a Ke’a drove through the parking lot and then back on to Mill Street. Officers continued to pursue Kupa’a Ke’a as he drove around Pickett Park before he re-entered the parking lot and became trapped.
