What we know:

Just after 2 a.m. on March 29, police pulled over a red Nissan Altima with fleet license plates near 60th and Scott. It was a car that police had been staking out.

Hours before the chase, prosecutors said two men in ski masks got out of the car and went into a bar. When dispatchers ran the plates, they didn't match the car. Officers placed stop sticks underneath.
