The suspect was described as Hispanic?!? Apparently his name is Raymond Charles Lewis, and his name does not sound Hispanic at all. Someone can explain? Thanks.

A light skinned African American man in the dark when you're terrified can certainly look Hispanic.
So glad that he was caught and that no one was hurt.

Good job officers! Its funny, I haven't heard any of the usual handful of police critics come up with something they feel the cops did wrong in this situaiton. Also, where are the handful of peopel who usually post on this blog who say what an ultr-low crime rate Palo Alto has implying the cops have nothgin to do? Yep, they are usually pretty quiet after this "real crime" gets reported and the cops do an outstanding job.

No offense to the PAPD - from the report they were hardworking and involved in this case. But, the real credit goes to the San Mateo PD who pursued the suspect in their city and arrested the individual in Burlingame.

What happened to the gun? Any charges for that? 99 years would be about right.

Why was this career criminal running loose? And how do the instacritics know the victim was not Hispanic or Black, and what difference does it make?

Haz, instead of pointing fingers at the police for this plight you mentioned, why don't you spend your time influencing and preventing young men like this from choosing a criminal lifestyle. In the vast majority of cases, it's a situation that these young men create, not the police or anyone else. It's called being responsible and accountable. Stop enabling these gang members, punks and thugs by making excuses for their criminal behavior. Enough already. Try growing up and acting like a responsible adult.

@Mike:
No, Caltrain does not run at 4am. The last northbound train on a Saturday night stops at Palo Alto at 11:01pm. The first Sunday northbound train stops at Palo Alto at 8:31am.
His option was to use SamTrans and connect to Muni.

A Prius 'sped off'? A patrol car can't overtake a Prius? What was the cop driving, a Big Wheel?

The woman either was drunk or she lives in a bubble; to wrongly describe the young black man as an Hispanic, outrageous!!!
Probably she has strong bias against certain minority group.
