Immigrants are enriching our freeway overpasses.
San Diego Sheriff SWAT officers rescued four children Thursday after their father attempted to throw them off an interstate overpass. The dramatic ending of a two day manhunt for Eric Perez, 43, of Montebello played out on live TV shortly after eight in the morning.
The incident began Wednesday after the body of Erica Perez, 36, was found in the trunk of her Honda Accord. The vehicle was in a parking lot less than a mile from the family’s home in Montebello, Calif., a suburb 15 miles east of Los Angeles.
Relatives had reported the family missing Tuesday to Montebello Police. The family had not been seen or heard from since December fifth.
Relatives reportedly told detectives the couple had a troubled, violent marriage. Both also had criminal records. Detectives made numerous attempts to call Perez but he did not answer his cell phone.
After Montebello police could not locate the family, an amber alert was issued for Perez and his four children ages 6, 8, 9, and 11. Montebello Police Captain, Luis Gomez said Perez was a “person of interest” in his wife’s death while speaking to reporters.
Montebello police detectives activated an anti-theft tracker in a Toyota Camry authorities believed Perez was driving. The device alerted authorities to its location in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. El Cajon police located the Camry near Fayette and Vernon streets. Perez then attempted to flee with the kids.
Perez led officers on a 20-minute long pursuit, continuing west on Interstate 8 near highway 67, then north on State Route 125. Perez reportedly reached speed of up to 85 miles per hour. “He wasn’t completely reckless, but he wasn’t stopping for red lights and sirens,” California Highway Patrol Officer Kevin Pearlstein told reporters.
Perez stopped his vehicle on a 150-foot high transition road from northbound State Route 125 to East bound State Route 52. Up to 25 police officers surrounded the vehicle. Two of the four children escaped from the vehicle when it came to a stop, running to the safety of officers.
