A man suspected of vandalizing multiple vehicles with a bat earlier today including smashing a car window while a passenger was inside in San Pablo, causing minor abrasions to the passenger’s face was finally arrested on San Pablo Avenue as he was engaging in an argument with a motorcyclist, police said.
San Pablo police dubbed the suspect, who wasn’t immediately identified, as “Bat” man.
San Pablo officers were initially dispatched to the vandalism of the car involving the passenger who suffered minor injuries. The suspect was described as a white male driving a black Acura TL with paper license plates, police said.
Details of body camera footage as detailed by the police department showed that the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Jeramy Dorsey, shot once at officers who subsequently pursued him on foot and ordered him to drop the gun in his possession.
The officers eventually shot back at Dorsey and struck him before recovering the handgun he used. Dorsey was treated for gunshot injuries at the scene before being transported to a local hospital for further treatment, according to police.
The family member who Dorsey allegedly shot was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Pinole police.
