Beaver County, PA - Dashcam and body-worn camera video footage shows the moments leading up to a police chase in Ohio that ended with a man being shot and killed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Video shows an Ohio trooper approaching the man, now identified as Deshawn Leeth, who had crashed his vehicle on the side of the turnpike near the state line. After about 20 seconds, the man starts to run away. When he comes back toward the cruiser, the trooper uses a Taser, but it did not work.

Leeth and the officer get into an altercation, with multiple punches thrown from both sides. Leeth then runs away again, and takes off in the trooper's cruiser.

From the dash camera footage, Leeth can be heard talking to himself for about 11 minutes while police chased him before he crashed in North Sewickley, Beaver County.

Pennsylvania State Police said troopers used "legal intervention" to stop the pursuit. When troopers approached the stolen cruiser, police said an altercation took place, and investigators shot the man. Police have not said whether Leeth had a weapon.
