An officer returned gunfire, but did not hit the suspect, who continued to flee.
A short time later, as more officers arrived, they got report of a man breaking into a home in the 6000 block of 28th Avenue Northeast and stealing a vehicle from the homeowner at gunpoint. Police believe it was the same suspect who was involved in the car prowl.
Police said the fleeing man crashed the stolen car near Northeast 55th Street and 26th Avenue Northeast.
When officers tried to arrest the driver, there was an exchange of gunfire.
The suspect was shot and killed by an officer.
