Lloyd Nelson Death Incident Details
It was unclear where Nelson came from before the chain of events leading to his death in Pasadena. The police approached the suspect after watching an illegal turn and get out of the car in the middle of the street in front of Pasadena City College. Officers were seen walking back out of the passenger door as Mitsubishi Mirage returned to the driver’s seat and approached before taking off. Land units followed him for 11 minutes before leaving the suspect due to careless driving. A helicopter followed Nelson, ignoring the red lights as he continued traveling on a wide cycle for 20 minutes. When Mitsubishi crashed into his SUV, it turned out to be a firearm in his hand, and apparently showed no hesitation before starting the clash that left him dead.
