PHOENIX - Police identified the suspects involved in a car chase and string of carjackings that ended in a barricade situation Tuesday where a K9 was killed.
Police arrested the driver in the police chase, 27-year-old Jairo Adair Contreras Quintero and his passenger, 24-year-old Laura Dagnino Tuesday.
Dagnino was arrested after police successfully stopped the suspect car with spike strips near 29th Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
Quinter fled on foot into a home and barricaded himself for several hours.
Quinter ran into an unoccupied home and hid in an attic, police said. At one point, he fell through the ceiling. Police released a K9 named Bane into the home, where he was critically injured. He later died from those injuries.
Police eventually entered the home and took Quinter into custody. Medics transported Quinter to a nearby hospital and he was released and booked into jail Monday.
