Media summary: Luis Nunez and Francisco Jimenez died when their Volkswagen Passat was struck by a fleeing Crown Victoria driven by Dwayne Becton, who also died. According to police, officers stopped an unmarked Ford Crown Victoria with municipal plates near 95th and Avenue N at around midnight. The officers were reportedly suspicious because of the car's tinted windows and because they saw a woman in the passenger seat. Becton allegedly sped away and crashed into the Volkswagen. The woman was treated for minor injuries and released. Police later determined that the plates were stolen from a vehicle assigned to Calumet Area detective headquarters.
