A tragic incident occurred on Saturday, July 20, when a woman lost her life after jumping from a moving vehicle during a pursuit.
After his vehicle broke down, the driver, 36-year-old William Holloway, was taken into custody. He is currently facing several serious charges, including first-degree murder.
Pima County deputies were called to a domestic violence incident in the early evening near Catalina Highway and Melpomene Way. The victim informed PCSD that her boyfriend had consumed an illegal substance prior to driving her up Mt. Lemmon, and refused to stop the vehicle to allow her to exit.
The PCSD reported that deputies were able to catch up to the vehicle, but Holloway chose to disregard their commands. He took them on a chase around the mountain, reaching speeds of 25 to 45 miles per hour.
