Of the photo that you sent, which of these suspects is still outstanding? Which one?
04:07

04:09
I'm still with the victim.
04:11
We have brown shoes in custody.
04:13
So of the two,
04:15
there's one that we have, one that's not, that brown shoes is confirmed in custody.
04:22
Dr. David, we have the white and grayish Nikes in custody,
04:26
the second arrest.
04:28
So whichever person doesn't have white and gray Nikes and doesn't have brown shoes is the outstanding one.
04:34
Three King 11, we were chasing three suspects.
04:37
Right.
04:39
We have one suspect that was in a black puffy jacket who we just took into custody break.
04:46
The last suspect was just wearing black jeans and a black cotton hoodie with the hood up.
04:54
I believe he had a black cross-noddy bag on him while we were chasing him.
04:59
Did you get race age bills on him?
05:04
Not get race.
05:06
Thin builds probably 5-8-5-10.
05:12
That's all I got.
05:14
Outstanding suspect.
05:15
I'm no male, 5-8 to 5-10, thin-billed black cotton hoodie with a hood up and black pants.
05:24
And guardian one, we're trying to resolve a possible spot target here at 116 Fairview.
05:32
In the middle of that building there,
05:35
might be worth taking a look at.
05:38
Possible hotspot, 116 Fairview.
05:43
Get a year to come look at this, there's like a fountain in the middle of this building.
05:48
On the back side of that fountain, there's a hatch that's open,
05:51
and there's something hot on the inside of there.
05:54
It's just a little unusual camp.
05:55
Positively say it's a person or not, but sort of take a look.
06:00
We're at John in favor of you.
06:01
What's the closest cross street to the edges?
06:05
East corner of John and Fairview.
06:07
It's that big building.
06:08
The entrance is midway off of Fairview to the east.
06:14
Copy. We'll take a lot of use had by the fountain.
06:18
Hey firm, there's a fountain there right in the middle of this entranceway.
06:24
And it's on the other side, I think it's in the fountain.
06:28
On the other side of that sound.
06:32
Clean up to you.
06:34
We're right here with our lights on.
06:36
Do you see us? Is it this building?
06:39
We only get a few seconds visual here with all the other buildings, so we'll try to look.
06:49
It's a person in a hatch next to the fountain.
06:52
I don't believe that would be you.
06:57
No, regarding what I wasn't.
06:59
It's definitely not officer in there.
07:02
So that fountain, I think I saw your lights on.
07:06
If you see the fountain on the back side,
07:09
I think you have to walk up some steps or something there.
07:10
There's a hatch that's open, there's a hotspot inside of that hatch.
07:20
I'm speaking.
07:21
They're going to be emailing the photos of their suspects up north here.
07:25
I'll get with David 3 to see if anything matches.
07:29
Or is he?
07:35
2.11 regard Vian 1.
07:37
If you see us on theme, can you kind of guide us in? We don't see a hatch.
07:43
See the top right there?
07:47
Sir?
07:56
The hat is on the other side.
08:00
We're walking the property right now.
08:04
Thank you.
08:14
You guys just walk past it, but turn around the town's right, the hatch is right there.
08:21
It's a hatch, like a little door on the ground?
08:24
Yep,
08:25

08:26
Just get a second.
08:31
