Paulo Ortiz Arrested after Police Pursuit in Greenfield
SOLEDAD, CA (November 23, 2021) – Tuesday morning, Guadalupe Garcia was pronounced dead after a car chase on 101 Freeway.
For unclear reasons, 24-year-old Paulo Ortiz led police on a pursuit around 10:15 a.m. Officers attempted to stop him using spike strips along Highway 101, but were unsuccessful.
After hopping the freeway towards Soledad, Ortiz began traveling through the downtown area. Shortly after, Ortiz struck a police vehicle as well as 65-year-old Garcia. Officers identified Garcia as the father of a local law enforcement officer in Soledad.
