CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Two teenagers were arrested on Tuesday and another died after a car chase with Chesapeake police ended in a crash. Officers are still trying to find the driver.
The Chesapeake Police Department said the pursuit started in Chesapeake after dispatch received a 911 call around 1:30 p.m. about a stolen vehicle in the area of 1500 Sentinel Drive. After getting the report, officers tracked down the stolen Volvo getting onto the interstate.
The chase started on Interstate 464 and went into the Berkeley section of Norfolk. It ended with a crash in the area of Indian River Road and Wilson Road. Three injured teens were arrested on the scene and taken to local hospitals. One of the teens, 17-year-old Ray'Quan Bethea, died from his injuries on Thursday. Bethea's grandma, Adrienne Bethea said her family still has questions and that they miss their loved one.
"I want answers. Like I want to know what happened from the beginning. He was the passenger of a stolen car, yes, but that's still not right for him to lose his life. He cared about his family, he cared about us, he truly did, all the children, everybody," said Adrienne Bethea.
The driver was able to getaway.
Norfolk Police Department's Crash Team responded to the crash scene to conduct the crash investigation. Norfolk police later charged 19-year-old passenger Darquez White with Possession of a Firearm by a Felon.
Both Chesapeake Police and Norfolk Police are conducting a joint investigation, and more charges are pending against the driver and passengers involved.
