HAZEN, AR - A high-speed pursuit in Arkansas on Tuesday ended in a fatal crash that claimed the life of 29-year-old Laterrika Woods, sister of Memphis rapper John Lotts, aka "Big Boogie." The Arkansas State Police (ASP) engaged in pursuit of a truck driven by 30-year-old Torkilo Hambrick on the I-40 in Lonoke County that quickly turned dangerous, with the suspect's vehicle reaching speeds in excess of 120 mph and weaving in and out of the shoulder.
As reported by Fox13 Memphis, Hambrick led authorities on the chase for over 18 miles until a trooper implemented a Tactical Vehicle Intervention or PIT maneuver to end the danger to the public presented by the reckless driver. Hambrick’s vehicle with Woods inside was forced off the interstate at high speed, crashing into a ditch and rolling over violently.
Woods was tragically ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
ASP Col. Mike Hager said in a press release, “This tragedy is a direct result of the suspect's reckless, selfish actions. This is another example of what can happen when a suspect flees from law enforcement. Fleeing suspects are terrorizing and traumatizing our communities. Our Troopers will not and cannot look the other way.”
In a statement, the State Police confirmed, “The suspect was endangering the lives of other motorists by exceeding 120 mph and passing vehicles on the right shoulder.”
As reported by KATV, Hambrick and another passenger, Zuri Jones were also injured and transported to an area hospital in stable condition. A third passenger, Latricia Walker, 26, was also ejected from the Dodge Ram pickup but survived. She was airlifted from the scene to Baptist Medical Center and remains in critical condition. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that potentially another passenger, Taricaa Lashay, survived but suffered an amputated arm. This name isn't present on the ASP statement but could be an alias for a known victim.
Hambrick, a registered sex offender, was wanted on an extradition warrant from Shelby County, Tennessee, for a probation violation and is likely to face charges for the death of Woods. A search of the vehicle yielded two firearms, a cache of U.S. currency, promethazine, marijuana, and narcotics, according to the outlet.
The Arkansas State Police told reporters that their investigation is ongoing.
According to Channel2Now, Hambrick, an aspiring rapper, is also known as "Kizzle Consistent" and "Fly Guy Kizzle."
Hambrick somehow managed to livestream while detained from what appears to be the back of an ASP vehicle and posted the video to Facebook, during which he appears distraught, screaming and crying, at times incoherently, claiming that he was attempting to pull over when State Troopers rammed his truck. He can be heard repeatedly calling for someone to help him, threatening suicide, and expressing concern for his wife. The suspect claimed to have been doing 70 mph at the time of the incident.
A woman, presumably a law enforcement officer, can be heard reading Hambrick his Miranda rights and saying, “If something happens to your spouse, that’s your own f***ing fault.”
He can be heard calling his mother and repeating the claim that he was rammed while attempting to pull over before the audio on the stream cuts out.

Why did the idiot still have a phone? It should have been bagged as soon as they heard him talking on it. Plus, if he was able to use his phone (hands/arms), why wasn't he in cuffs?
