A Volvo with white paper license plate on the rear bumper was identified as the suspect vehicle in the recent robbery of an elderly woman. A vehicle matching the description was spotted by officers patrolling an area where several similar robberies had been committed since December, and the driver and occupants sped away when officers tried to stop them. An investigation led officers to the Motel 6, where officers attempted to stop the occupants of a car matching the description of the Volvo. An officer shot and killed the driver of the car after he struck police vehicles.
