Antioch officer fights for life inside high-speed getaway car during robbery, captured on body cam

A Feb. 20 FoodMaxx robbery in Antioch escalates into a life-or-death chase after a suspect rams a patrol car and drags an officer into a fleeing SUV. Body-cam audio shows the officer ordering the suspect to stop while Dominick Desouza drives away at high speed; the officer shoots Desouza in the leg as the SUV crashes about two miles from the store. Desouza was arrested on multiple charges (kidnapping, robbery, assault on a peace officer, burglary, grand theft, unlawful vehicle taking) and the officer, who sustained minor injuries, is on paid leave as the investigation continues; two other suspects fled the scene.
