An Erie Police officer happen to be driving northbound on McClelland Avenue in Eastlawn Hills, witnessed the shooting and quickly got involved into a pursuit. Lamar then sped eastbound onto East 26th Street near the Diehl and Eastlawn Hills neighborhood boundary lines in East Erie and continued into Wesleyville where he crashed into a home in the 2500 block of Station Road in Wesleyville. Luckily the resident of the house was not home neither was anybody during the crash, Red Cross also stepped in to help the family at the Wesleyville home and to help repair the house.

Wesleyville Police and Pennsylvania State Troopers out of Lawrence Park also arrived to the scene to help Erie Police out with addition law enforcement in the situation. The victim of the shooting was reported fine and later told Erie Police that “he has no idea who Lamar even was and is just happy to be alive.” Station Road was blocked off from Shannon Road to Francis Street in Wesleyville and McClelland Avenue was also blocked off from East 30th Street in Eastlawn Hills to Fairmount Parkway in Diehl in East Erie.
