At least one detained after DHS chase and search
Several marked and unmarked police cars gathered in a Desert Hot Springs neighborhood Thursday evening in search of a suspect who was on the run. Authorities detained 21-year-old James Goodwin at the scene, but they’re still looking for one suspect.
A law enforcement helicopter was also seen circling the community east of Cabot’s Pueblo Museum around 6:00 p.m. following a chase through the city minutes earlier.
Desert Hot Springs Police Chief Dale Mondary said the Fugitive Apprehension Team was looking for a suspect from a shooting in 2015. Officers began pursuing a vehicle that was being driven by Goodwin.
The passenger [shooting suspect] bailed from the vehicle and is still on the loose, according to police.
CBS Local 2 and KESQ news crews witnessed Goodwin being led away in handcuffs in the area of Monterico Road and Calle Amapola on Thursday night.
