He was on patrol when he spotted the suspect's car on Manana Street at 1336 hours. He radioed dispatch as he turned around to stop the vehicle. As he attempted to catch the vehicle, he suffered a heart attack causing his patrol car to crash into a wall and a parked car. He was transported to Plains Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead one hour later.
