KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – A victim in a suburban Kansas City police chase that
killed four people has been identified as a father who was headed to see his
newborn daughter.

The Kansas City Star reports that Aaron Daniel was identified by Kansas City
police as one of the victims in the crash Friday. Independence police were
pursuing a Jeep they believed to be stolen, which fled into Kansas City and
crashed into another vehicle at an intersection.

Daniel’s daughter was born two days before the collision.

His father, McAllister Daniel, says the 29-year-old was on the way to his
partner’s home in Kansas City to “celebrate their newborn.” He says his son also
has three other children, ages 5, 7 and 10.

McAllister Daniel calls the police’s decision “reckless,” saying possible auto
theft isn’t worth four deaths.
