Authorities say the chase began Friday afternoon when East Bay Regional Park police officers began chasing a suspect in a car. The man pulled into the parking lot of the Chevy's and ran away.
Authorities have identified the suspect as Ricky Joseph, 27. He is African American, six feet one inch tall and weighs 210 pounds.
East Bay Regional Parks and Fremont police say Joseph is a known gang member and is believed to be responsible for a series of car burglaries. Police discovered him near cars that had just been broken into. That's when the suspect then led officers on a chase through Oakland and Emeryville.
