State police said the investigation of the shooting continues but preliminary findings indicate Crouch, who was wanted on several felony warrants, fled from a hotel as troopers were tracking him.
Crouch left the scene in a car police later determined had been stolen in Terre Haute on Feb. 24. Police said Price briefly pursued Crouch in his police car before Crouch crashed the stolen car into a pond and ran from the scene on foot.
Price pursued Crouch on foot until he noticed he had a gun in his hand and gave Crouch "several commands to drop the weapon before the exchange of gunfire," state police said.
