The trouble started earlier when the police pulled over Raw Youngin in his gray Infiniti sedan for infractions such as a stop bar and window tint violation. However, he fled the spot at breakneck speed instead of settling down and listening to the officer’s instructions.
During the high-speed chase, Raw Youngin’s car collided with a red Dodge sedan, which had entered the intersection of NW 10th Avenue and NW 6th Street. The impact of the collision was so severe that the driver of the Dodge was killed in the process.The collision also left serious injuries to the passengers in Raw Youngin’s car, most notably Broke Asf, who suffered a relative brain injury. All injured individuals were immediately rushed to the hospital for urgent medical treatment and care.
However, Raw Youngin did not assist the injured passengers at the traumatic time but tried to flee on foot. The attempt did not take him too far, as officials were able to catch him soon after and found him hiding in the yard of a house. The suspect was taken into custody.
