As the chase intensified, the driver exited the freeway in Chinatown before reentering the 101 Freeway heading Northbound. Ignoring the media and police helicopters, the driver continued at high speeds, reaching over 100 mph (~160 km/h) on the 110 Freeway.

A Disappearing Act

Approximately 7 minutes into the chase, the driver exited the freeway and entered downtown Los Angeles. The driver made a sudden turn into an underground parking garage, vanishing from sight. Authorities swiftly secured the area around the Pershing Square building in an attempt to locate the driver.

Search for the Driver

According to KTLA5, the Alfa Romeo Giulia was found in the parking garage, but the driver was nowhere to be found. It is likely that the driver fled on foot from the scene. However, security cameras in the underground garage may have captured images of the driver, aiding the police in their search.
