Authorities didn't immediately release details about what happened when Sanabria was stopped or whether he had a weapon. Lynn said several officers fired their weapons and Sanabria was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

During the chase, Sanabria’s truck veered onto a business property, where it struck several vehicles and a pedestrian, police said. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was in critical condition.

Port St. Lucie police announced Monday night that Sanabria was suspected of fatally shooting a man in his vehicle and described him as armed and dangerous.
