On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at approximately 11:22 a.m., Killeen Police Officers located a Chevy Suburban reported stolen earlier that morning in the parking lot of the Killeen Mall.
Upon seeing the marked patrol vehicle, the driver of the stolen Suburban attempted to leave the area. Officers initiated a vehicle stop, but the driver refused to comply and evaded police through a nearby neighborhood. The pursuit eventually led onto the property of Manor Middle School.
While on school grounds, the stolen vehicle crashed into a fence and a series of drainage ditches before coming to a stop. The sole occupant, a 16-year-old male, then fled on foot. Officers quickly pursued the juvenile and safely apprehended him in the school’s parking lot.
The suspect was transported to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries sustained in the crash. He was later released and taken to juvenile detention. The Killeen Police Department Traffic Unit is continuing to investigate this incident.
