The vehicle had been stolen out of Walnut Creek.
Witnesses saw the suspect flee on foot into a wooded area and described him as black with a bald or shaved head, 6 feet tall, in his 20’s, wearing a navy blue hoodie, blue jeans and tennis shoes, according to Officer Rick Fowler of the California Highway Patrol.
Fowler said local residents were notified by officers at the time, but the suspect has still not been located. He requested that if the suspect is spotted, please call 911 or your local CHP office.

He was probably coming up here to do a robbery or worse using a stolen get away car. Probably armed as well.
Riiiight…
He just stole it so he could take granny to her medical appointment
Got a better explanation for what he did? Damn sure not innocent!
Uuuuhhhh ya actually…..
🕯🌳He fought the law and damn he won. 🖖🖖
hope he loses hard.
Not sure how hard this guys winning ,looking at multiple felonies while running around on foot in hostile territory not looking very local. Sounds like a bad ending to me.
He was in chevron before had his mask as a bandanna way up.
Use his debit or EBT card at Chevron? That lil Chevron has a lot of play being the only thing for miles either way. Lol him thinking Branscomb Road was a legit escape route. It takes out many a seasoned local. That section of road is pretty wicked.
Sounds like hog-tie time!
Right. I’m definitely weary of woke culture and I don’t like to throw around the race card. But…. Well let’s just say if it was a 6 foot tall white guy in a nascar shirt who ran into the woods, the comments would be different. That’s what people are saying these days- and they are correct. If you judge the guy as soon as you see he’s black, well.
Uuuh…stolen car??? From a different county? It checks all the boxes. A person would have to be willfully ignorant of the implications. Coming to a conclusion using logic isn’t always racist.
He gets judged as a reckless criminal on foot. the fact that hes black makes him more identifiable. Keep yer pecker wrapped up folks, its not a lynching.
I wouldn’t want to be way up Branscomb without a ride, even being from around here.
He will probably try to steal another car to get away.
Just in time for the rain too, with overnight temps in the 40’s. He’ll be wishing for something better than jeans and a hoodie, maybe even a hat on that bald head. Would hate to have him roaming around my home looking to upgrade his situation.
Keep your guard up neighbors.
