The Detective attempted to stop the vehicle and the suspect began to speed up and elude the Detective. The Detective was not able to keep up with the vehicle and terminated his pursuit. The vehicle information was passed on to all Neighboring Counties and Wells County advised that they were trying to stop the vehicle in their County and were unable to as well.<\/p>\n<p>As Officers began to speak with witnesses they were advised that the suspect first appeared to have possibly struck the victim with the car and then exited the vehicle and began to strike the victim with a black in color baseball bat.<\/p>\n<p>The victim was transported to a local hospital with Non-Life Threatening Injuries and upon his arrival at the hospital his condition was downgraded to Life Threatening Injuries.<\/p>\n<p>At this time the Fort Wayne Police Department Homicide Division and Crime Scene Technicians were called to the scene. Detectives began speaking with any witnesses as well as gather any possible video from any of the near by stores in the complex.<\/p>\n<p>Detectives are asking that if anyone has any information regarding this incident to please contact Fort Wayne Police Department Detective Bureau at 427-1201 or Allen County Crime Stoppers at 436-7867.<\/p>\n<p>Again Detectives are advising anyone that may come into contact with this suspect consider him armed and dangerous<\/p>\n<p>This incident is being investigated by the Fort Wayne Police Department, and the Allen County Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Police Memorial Service.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='396dd7e27c3f273d7c0e51562f100fac' data-image-id=\"1754\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\" data-description=\"The Police Memorial Service.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1754\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='396dd7e27c3f273d7c0e51562f100fac' data-image-id=\"2028\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\" data-title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\" data-description=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2028\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2006-trf\/13641.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Fort Wayne Police Department cars and motorcycles along with Allen County Sheriff&#039;s motorcycles lined up on Superior Street after the 2006 Three Rivers Festival Parade.
