The 22-year-old suspect, identified as Leosvany Arias Roman in a press release from the Hillsborough Country Sheriff’s Office, had just parked the stolen Mustang around 10:20 p.m. in Tampa when two HCSO deputies approached and attempted to arrest him. Instead of doing that, Roman decided to crash the Mustang into the two sheriff’s vehicles and flee the scene.

After leaving that scene, he collided with a Florida Highway Patrol vehicle on the highway. From there, Roman crashed into a Dodge Grand Caravan with four occupants inside, People reports.

“This criminal had no regard for human life. Our deputies, facing danger, had to jump out of the way of a man they feared would run them over to get away,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “The additional charges he faces will ensure the only road he’s ever on again is the one that leads straight to jail.”

The Caravan was carrying three passengers from Ohio, and the driver was a local, according to ABC Action News. The FHP said that the driver worked for Uber.

People explained the extent of the victims’ injuries:

The 33-year-old driver and a 52-year-old man from Columbiana, Ohio, died as a result of fatal injuries from the crash, according to the FHP. The other two passengers, a 51-year-old woman, and a 24-year-old man, were transported to the hospital and treated for serious injuries.

Police noted that the 51-year-old woman died due to injuries from the crash after being transported to the hospital on the same evening that the incident occurred.

The 27-year-old Florida Highway Patrol officer that Roman collided with was treated for minor injuries, according to authorities.

Ramos is facing about a dozen different charges including, felony murder, vehicular homicide, aggravated fleeing and eluding involving death and battery on a law enforcement officer, according to People.
