COP SHOT IN PURSUIT OF DRUG SUSPECTS

Police sought a fugitive Friday in a bizarre chain of events that included a
17-year-old girl fatally shot by cops during a busted stakeout, a San
Francisco police officer shot by another cop, a carjacking, a car wreck and
several car chases and arrests.

Among those arrested was drug suspect Raymondo Cox, 21. Cox had fled the
stakeout Wednesday with an alleged accomplice and the girl, Sheila Patricia
Detoy, who was killed, police said, by a shot fired by officers at the
fleeing car.

The alleged accomplice, Michael Negron, was still at large Friday after
smashing his uncle's BMW into a Daly City police motorcycle, San Francisco
police said.

Cox was in San Francisco County Jail on charges relating to the drug
stakeout and resisting arrest.

Cox was the target of the initial stakeout that started the hectic chain of
events; an FBI-SFPD fugitive team sought to arrest him for failing to appear
in court on a series of charges involving possession and sale of crack cocaine.

The shooting of one officer by another occurred Thursday night in Visitacion
Valley as police were trying to arrest two other men who became involved in
the case.

The mayhem started Wednesday morning when police tried to arrest Cox at an
apartment complex near Lake Merced.

In that incident, police said Negron and Cox tried to flee police and FBI
agents in a gray Mustang. Detoy was in a passenger seat.

Officers Gregory Breslin and Michael Moran fired four rounds as driver
Negron accelerated back toward the police, who said they feared they would
be run over, according to police reports.

Detoy was killed by a bullet in the left ear. Police said the bullet entered
through the open driver's side window.

"There is no evidence that a bullet was fired from the inside of the
vehicle," said Homicide Lt. David Robinson.

Negron and Cox sped away but the car crashed head-on into another car on
nearby Sloat Boulevard, police said. The two jumped out and carjacked
68-year-old retiree Zayed Zawaydeh's 1987 Toyota Camry, police said.
Zawaydeh's car was recovered Thursday afternoon by police at the Tanforan
shopping center in San Bruno, Robinson said.

On Thursday, investigators who asked not to be named said "we got lucky"
with a tip that located Cox and Negron, who also goes by the name Michael
Johnson, in the Visitacion Valley area.

The tipster told police that Cox was spotted outside a home in the Sunnydale
projects Wednesday night, investigators said. Police interviewed a woman who
lived there and she admitted her husband was friendly with Cox but had not
seen the fugitive that day. She said her husband could be found at another
friend's home a few blocks away.

Just as police arrived there and began to set up surveillance, they spotted
Cox, Negron and two unidentified young men coming out of the house. The two
unidentified men got into the front cab of a Toyota pickup, police said. Cox
and Negron climbed into the back, which was covered by an opaque camper shell.

The truck sped away -- with officers in pursuit -- and blew past two Daly
City motorcycle police officers, who were doing traffic enforcement at the
county line, police said.

The pickup went onto northbound Highway 101 near Candlestick Point, wound in
and out of traffic at high speeds, then exited at Bayshore Boulevard, police
said. The truck sped up Cortland Avenue at about 60 mph into Bernal Heights.
The four suspects jumped out of the Toyota on Powhatan Avenue, running in
different directions, police said.

Police Inspector Robert McMillan and two other officers caught Cox as he
tried to run down a hill where Powhatan comes into the freeway.

Meanwhile, Daly City Officer Richard Woodworth followed Negron to a
relative's house on Nebraska Street. There, Negron climbed into his uncle's
green 1992 BMW 525i, which was parked on the street, police said.

Woodworth ordered Negron to stop and pulled his motorcycle in the BMW's
path, police said. Negron allegedly backed over the motorcycle, just missing
the officer, and sped away. Police have issued an all-points bulletin for
the BMW with the California license number 3XJD434.

The man alleged to be driving the pickup was arrested later at his Daly City
home, said Lt. Michael Scott of the Daly City police.

Joseph Solis, 21, was caught by police as he tried to climb over his back
fence at 268 Westlake Ave. at 8:12 p.m., police said. Solis was booked late
Thursday by San Francisco police on charges of reckless driving and trying
to evade police.

At 9:30 p.m., Inspector McMillan and three other officers surrounded a house
on Campbell Street in Visitacion Valley where they hoped to find Negron or
clues to his whereabouts, according to Robinson.

Sgt. Dan Greely intercepted two men fleeing out the back door. As they tried
to hop a fence, Robinson said, Greely ordered the men to stop, then fired
two shots when he thought he saw one carrying a weapon. Neither of the
fleeing men was hurt, but McMillan was hit in the upper thigh.

McMillan was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where he remained in
serious but stable condition Friday.

One of the men was apprehended and the other turned himself in shortly
after, Robinson said. The two men's names were not immediately available,
nor were the charges they were arrested on.

"It's a long saga that started yesterday noontime and hasn't stopped," said
Daly City's Lt. Scott after Thursday night's arrests. "It's unbelievable."
