Police officers also found the passenger, later identified as 25-year-old Joshua Marquez, lying in some tall grass a short distance off the road, Marysville police said.
In the bodycam footage, Marquez tells police he had wanted to surrender and wanted to get out of the car, but Hughes refused to let him leave. He also appears to cooperate with the officers as they take him into custody.
Marquez was taken into custody without incident and later transported to a hospital due to a medical issue, according to investigators. In the video, Marquez tells the officers he was having trouble breathing, and they allow him to sit up.
Investigators said Marquez was a convicted felon who was in possession of a handgun during the police chase. He allegedly tossed the gun near where the chase ended. The weapon, a loaded revolver, was later recovered by police, according to investigators.
Marquez was charged in Ohio with third-degree having weapons while under disability. On Monday, his bond was set at $250,000.
It was unclear if he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
Police have not yet determined if Marquez was involved at all in the triple shooting in Bensalem. Sources told NBC10, however, they believe Marquez was in Ohio at the time of the Bensalem shooting and that Marquez said he was with his sister.
“We will continue to pursue all leads in our attempt to identify any other potential suspects engaged in the planning or solicitation of this crime, including occupants of the vehicle used in the murder,” Bensalem police said.
