The victim was followed by a dark green or dark blue 2000 to 2010 Chevrolet or GMC full size pick-up truck to Virginia Avenue. The victim drove north on Virginia Avenue, then east on Foothill Boulevard, with the truck still following him.

The victim drove to the Azusa Police Department's station at 725 N. Alameda Avenue. However, prior to arriving at the station, the truck rammed the back of the victim's vehicle on 3 separate occasions. The truck fled from the area before officers were on scene.
