The chase continued into the 2600 block of Zoe Avenue. There, Garcia turned and pointed a gun at the officer chasing on foot, officials said. Garcia was shot and killed; the report from the Sheriff's Department does not say how many officers were involved.

No officers were injured in the incident. A gun was recovered at the scene, according to the report.
