Lehighton State Police said Thursday they are looking to identify a woman who reported a white van driving erratically as part of a case involving the shooting death of a man following a high-speed chase last month.

The Troop N Major Case Team said the woman stopped at the J&N Gas Station on Broad Street, Beaver Meadows and reported a white van driving erratically to the Beaver Meadows Borough police chief.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cpl. Brian Silliman at Lehighton state police barracks at 610-681-1850.

As a result of the chase, Danny Washington, 27, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was pronounced dead at 7:09 p.m. Dec. 18 at St. Luke’s Allentown Campus.

Washington, who died of a gunshot wound to the torso, was one of five people inside a minivan that led officers on a high-speed chase through the county. The chase began in Beaver Meadows and ended on Interchange Road across from Wentz Auto Body and R.F. Ohl’s Plumbing.

The four other occupants, Creshaun Demetrick Caldwell, 23; Mitchell Lawrence Knight, 27; Cedric Lamont Cason, 39; and Tyrone Wesley Parker Jr., 19, all of Florida, are in custody.

Knight was identified as the driver after a KFC receipt found in the vehicle led police to review surveillance footage that showed him driving the minivan earlier that day, according to police.

As the officer was trying to take Washington into custody, troopers said the two struggled and the officer’s service weapon discharged, striking Washington.

Police have not named the officer or the municipality he works for.

The struggle came after police disabled the white Chrysler minivan, which reportedly reached speeds up to 90 mph during a 17-minute chase across the county.

During a traffic stop by Beaver Meadows Police, the van fled and a pursuit began. Multiple local police departments including Weatherly and Nesquehoning joined in the pursuit as it traveled down Route 93 south, onto Route 209 north through the boroughs of Jim Thorpe and Lehighton, and eventually across the Thomas J. McCall Memorial Bridge into Franklin Township, where police disabled the vehicle.

When the minivan stopped in Franklin Township, the suspects refused to get out of the vehicle, prompting multiple police officers to approach the vehicle to take them into custody.

Caldwell, Knight, Cason and Parker were charged with 11 counts of receiving stolen property. Knight also faces charges of fleeing or attempting to elude police, drug possession, recklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest, driving without a license, driving on the right side of the road, driving at an unsafe speed, careless driving and reckless driving.

After the chase, officers returned to an area along Route 93 where they saw someone in the vehicle throw items out of the van.

Among the items they found were 11 blank bank checks, which had been reported stolen out of Mayfield, Lackawanna County.

The four suspects were arraigned and sent to the Carbon County Correctional Facility. Bail for Caldwell and Cason was set at $100,000 straight; $50,000 straight for Parker; and $100,000 straight and $1 million 10 percent for Knight on the two sets of charges.

Caldwell and Parker are reportedly from the Fort Lauderdale area, while Knight is from Sun City and Cason is from Lauderhill.

They are all awaiting preliminary hearings.

Magisterial District Judge Joseph Homanko of Weatherly ordered that the men be required to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet if they post bail.
