According to police, the incident began when Desravines shot his girlfriend’s father in Florida City during an argument over food.

Desravines fled the scene in a while Volkswagen Jetta but was spotted by Miami-Dade officers, who pursued him on the Florida’s Turnpike, an arrest report said.

Chopper footage from NBC6 showed the Jetta traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of rush-hour traffic on the Turnpike and then the Dolphin Expressway with officers in pursuit.

The car eventually crashed into another vehicle and a roadway sign on the Dolphin Expressway eastbound near 22nd Avenue, where Desravines was taken into custody.
