Speaker 22, I'll head over to the Revere.
01:04
Okay.
01:07
The front door, the driver door, is somewhat ajar when we first pulled, then we saw somebody standing next to it.
01:14
So we can't tell if it's still occupied with him inside or if you took up on stuff, but it's slightly closed.
01:21
Happy.

Are you in unmarked?
01:49
Yes, my now.
01:50

01:54
Yes, that's far from 192.
01:56
Okay.
02:01
Baker 20.
02:03
Hi.
02:06
I'm sitting over at Rio and alma school at well.
02:12
Okay. Sorry.
02:14
25, yeah, there's definitely somebody occupying the driver's apartment.
02:18
He has a window down and we can see some movement inside.
02:21
Can't tell if it's under power or not, but there's still somebody sitting in occupying it.
02:29
742, I'm set up Rio and Vineyard and I've got there.
02:34
Copy.
02:39
When you guys first saw there was unoccupied and then someone was able to now it's occupied?
02:47
When we first saw it was occupied there was people coming outside.
02:50
Looks like the passenger doors open, the driver's opening now and there's a mail exiting the driver's apartment.
02:57
He appears to be a (number withheld) male with a white backpack.
03:02
He's like got a long green shirt on and some type of fisherman's hat.
03:09
Okay, I'm guessing it's probably we don't want to roll up on it right there given the complex.
03:16
Yeah, I copy that.
03:17
Not a good backdrop.
03:18
He's walking north down from the vehicle.
03:20
We'll see what you know he goes into.
03:23
Okay, I got a call in the Beck Gaff, he's going to get with Phoenix and try to pull the report and see if there's any good details.
03:30
The one-on-one passenger just exited as well.
03:33
They're both walking in front of the vehicle to the east, through the apartment company.
03:41
Female with a white spaghetti strap paint top and a tattoo on her back.
03:47
That's all we could see.
03:49
She's got long door here.
03:52
Okay, if you get good enough eyes on her, to pull up that RO, the RO is a 101,
03:56
make sure she don't match.
04:00
I just saw the backup, or I didn't get a good front view.
04:04
Yeah, that's actually two big no ROs.
04:12
I'm Baker 21.
04:13
I'm in the area of the Country Club for you.
04:16
Good far.
04:20
In Baker 21 will be a couple blocks to the Norse.
04:24
Four.
04:28
Yeah, we saw the exits and they walked between eastbound between building six and building three.
04:35
Good far.
04:39
Again, the male occupant, if it was male, which appeared to be, he had a large gray backpack and some type of green, long-sleeved button, I'm sure, with a fisherman's style hat.
04:53
Sam, they're going to try.
04:54
If we get unmarked in the area, let's have them land where they can get the eye with their UC car.
04:59
The control won't be as visible.
05:07
Do we have anybody on 8th place just to the rear?
05:11
I'll make your 21 to make you the 8th place.
05:14
And like 8th? Okay.
05:22
Baker 21?
05:24
Go ahead.
05:30
We're at 10th and Revere, we can drop down to A if that other unit wants to go a little further east.
05:36
Well,
05:39
he's right there at Dayton 9th right now, so...
05:46
Probably warning here.
05:48
Okay.
05:49
Lincoln 22, could we try and get a drone up?
05:51
Do we have drone over here?
05:54
Brick of 26, yeah, I'm preparing a launch right now.
05:57

06:05

06:25
Ten point.
06:31
25, Tom, is there a 21 attached that you can put on the call for the RO to be a vehicle? Let me find out, but just, you know, we're getting a welfare check of disregard.
06:46
So you guys have staffing to go to a different channel on this?
06:50
Let me find out.
06:55
No, we do not.
07:01
I'm going to 97 in the area.
07:03
We give me the vehicle description again.
07:05
Yeah, it's a four-door Chevy Equinox, I'm sorry, Chevy Silverado from the plate, (number withheld).
07:12
Let me see what color.
07:17
And the Marchion, it stopped driving in front of the targets vehicle.
07:25
Vehicles parked in front of the targets apartment?
