MOTORCYCLE CHASE

After the shooting, the suspect, 47-year-old Angelo Jose Saldivar of San Bernardino, allegedly took off from the Rancho Cucamonga scene on a motorcycle.

Saldivar hopped on the 210 Freeway and was clocked by SkyFOX for going more than 100 mph at multiple points along the eastbound lanes.
