WATCH: Carjacking Suspect Dead After Shootout With Police in Minnesota

A Minnesota man is dead after a shootout with police on a busy highway on Sunday.

According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the deadly confrontation between police and the armed motorist took place Sunday afternoon on Interstate 35W, near County Road 13 in Burnsville, Minnesota.

Law Enforcement began pursuing a vehicle with stolen plates around 3 pm Sunday. The suspect (a white male in his 20s) then crashed the vehicle, ran to a nearby restaurant, and pleaded with one of the patrons to take him to Minneapolis, stating he would pay the woman to do so. When the woman refused, the suspect grabbed her keys, ran to her car, fired shots at police as they arrived, and then sped off.

The incident remains under investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
