Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Patrick Lynn said during a news conference that his officers spotted a silver pickup truck Tuesday morning that had been connected to a fatal shooting in Port St. Lucie a day earlier. Officers briefly pursued it and shot the 41-year-old driver, Manuel Sanabria, in a confrontation after the chase.
Police in Port St. Lucie, about 90 miles north of Fort Lauderdale, confirmed Sanabria was the man they had been searching for.
