The suspect fled the scene in a silver Subaru WRX. Metro’s Fusion Watch Command was able to identify the license plate of the suspects' vehicle and quickly notified all Metro officers of the suspects Subaru and license plate information.

Metro also knew the suspects address near Washington Avenue and Torrey Pines Drive and as LVMPD approached her residence the woman in her 20’s turned herself into police.
