After investigating, police discovered that the vehicle was stolen out of Greensboro.

Officers R.V. Gamboa and B.N. Vasquez approached the vehicle and the driver woke up and backed into another unoccupied police vehicle before driving forward and jumping a curb. Officers fled to prevent from being hit.

Gamboa and Vasquez fired at the vehicle seeing that another officer was in danger of being hit.

One officer had minor injuries from the foot chase and was released from the hospital.

Fishe was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and resist delay or obstruct.

Exactly one year before this incident, police confirmed to CBS 17 that Vasquez and Gamboa were the same officers that shot Charles Piquet, 51, after he stabbed a Circle K store clerk on Jan. 12, 2022.
