A police pursuit led to a high-speed crash where the suspect hit an unrelated vehicle, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Four of the occupants were transported to the hospital.

One of the passengers, a six-year-old girl, has died due to her injuries in the crash, police said.

A 15-year-old female passenger remains hospitalized.

All other bystanders have been released from the hospital.

Police attempted to deflate the tires of the suspect’s vehicle, but the device failed and allowed the suspect to flee.

This led to a high-speed chase where the suspect was traveling up to 70mph in a 30mph residential zone, an officer told dispatch.

A Minnesota State Patrol helicopter was deployed to assist with the pursuit, but the suspect crashed into a bystander vehicle just a minute after it was launched.

All occupants of the bystander vehicle and the suspect were transferred to the hospital after the incident.

The suspect, who had an active warrant for his arrest, was taken into police custody at the scene and remains hospitalized.

The Sun reached out to officials regarding the suspected murderer’s identification, and the public information office said they are not releasing it at this time.

Hennepin County officials are actively investigating this incident.
