According to Atlanta police, the suspect, Tremeico Quncell Watson, had an active murder warrant and was found in a silver 2017 Ford Fusion near the 3000 block of Campbellton Road SW.
When officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, Watson sped away in an Atlanta neighborhood, authorities said.
APD said due to an immediate threat to the public, officers ended the chase using a PIT maneuver.
