Police vehicle rammed by suspect according to Sheriff’s Office

HAMILTON COUNTY, Tennessee (WDEF) – A woman says her ex-boyfriend shot at her and wrecked her on I 75 this week.

The incident happened Wednesday night around 10 PM.

The woman says she was heading south out of Bradley County when she noticed the Toyota Sequoia owned by Mathew McMurray next to her.

She says he shot at her and then rammed her vehicle.

When deputies arrived, they found his wrecked vehicle, but he had fled.

However he left his driver’s license behind.

Investigators believe he fired the shots in Bradley County and then rammed the vehicle in Hamilton.

They believe he stole a pickup truck the next day in East Ridge.

Then on Friday, they tried to pull the stolen truck over on I 75.

They say he led them on a chase through East Ridge, crashed again, and fled on foot before officers captured him.

Hamilton County officials say McMurray faces multiple warrants from several counties.

“Today’s violent events were the culmination of a two-day manhunt for McMurray that stretched from North Georgia to Bradley County. The brazen disrespect for life shown by this individual highlight the dangers my detectives and deputies face each day as they methodically seek and capture wanted felons. Our daily working relationships with our law enforcement partners throughout the region contribute greatly to the successful apprehension of wanted, violent suspects, including today’s capture of McMurray. I am proud of the work these men and woman do every day throughout our region in order to keep our community safe,” stated Sheriff Austin Garrett.
