Police said Gleason was driving a stolen BMW when officers from the San Joaquin County Delta Regional Auto Theft Team spotted him. They gave chase, and at some point Manteca police got involved. It went south on Highway 99 and entered Ripon, where Gleason took the Jack Tone Road offramp. His car struck another car occupied by a woman and her young daughter, causing it to overturn. Gleason got out of the BMW armed with a handgun, jumped over a guard rail and onto an embankment above railroad tracks. Police shot and killed him.
