BENSALEM, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Authorities in Ohio have released dashcam video of police officers chasing a person of interest wanted in last week’s Halloween shooting that claimed the life of a 14-year-old boy in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Bensalem police say the vehicle used in the shooting was stolen out of Bristol Township.
Late last week, police in Ohio spotted the car.<\/p>\n

Police tried to pull Hughes over, and that’s when the chase began. At one point, Hughes was able to run out of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, police found his body. He died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

Joshua Marquez has been arrested on weapons charges, according to police in Marysville, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Another person in the car, identified as 25-year-old Joshua Marquez, also fled on foot, but police were able to catch him.<\/p>\n

“Show me your hands, show me your hands,” could be heard over body camera footage.<\/p>\n

Marquez, a convicted felon, was in possession of a gun and discarded it after the pursuit, but officers later found it. He has been arrested on weapons charges. It’s unclear if he had any connection to the Bensalem shooting.<\/p>\n

There’s been a lot of tears and frustration from the community trying to understand how this all happened and why.<\/p>\n

Police say there was a report of teens fighting at Bristol Pike and Woodbine Avenue before the gunshots were fired from a nearby car.<\/p>\n

A family member said she is frustrated about the outcome.<\/p>\n

“Honestly I wish that he would rot in jail for his life. I’m happy that he’s in hell,” said Romano’s cousin, Gianna Romano.<\/p>\n

Bensalem police say they are still investigating other possible suspects involved in this shooting, including others who were in the vehicle on Halloween.<\/p>\n
