02:43
I'm my right phone with you.
02:44
Hey, Colin.
02:46
Just got intel that he's in this building here.
02:48
I think it's Siri, just south of 8th Avenue, on the third floor.
02:52
So we need to set people up around this.
02:53
I'm on the east side of it.
02:55
That's where I'm coming.
02:56
He sounds good morning. 1012922. Okay.
02:57
Let's not completely compromise the perimeter just in case.
03:00
Let's send a couple units over to lock down the building and be trying to maintain the perimeter as best we can.
03:04
We're on school mobile, I'll hold up on her.
03:05

03:09
Go back 482-14.
03:10
Careful.
03:11
Yeah, the witness I know the address, I think it is a 700 block 13th street.
03:16
They said, Bravo, Mike, he had blood all over him.
03:18
And he went up to the third floor when this guy opened the door to go inside, or to come outside.
03:24
We got the east side of Aquin Jones block down, north and south side, so perimeter should be okay.
03:29
I actually ended up with QO if there's another unit that can go to 9112.
03:33
Delta 42. I'm right to you're running up on.
03:36
Down 42. Sorry, 23.
03:37
We've got the west side of this covered over by 13th and I think that this might lead into that big parking garage too.
03:43
Hey, Casey, I'm looking at the parking garage, just directly on the other side of this building from us.
03:47
603. Myself and Lexi have the west side of this building lockdown right here at the door.

04:11
Okay. There's just for 43, we had numerous people tell us that he went to the third floor.
04:15
Tommy and I finally made it over the parking garage edge.
04:17

We're on the back side of this door.
04:24
Any indications have the vehicle reference to no zero? Flash, a 31 patient care transfer.
04:29
West you have one patient care transfer.
04:30
Yeah, do we need to make sure that we've got this parking garage on like the west side of it blocked down because it does connect to these buildings.
04:37
He can go up or down from the third floor.
04:39
I'll be on the south side of that garage.
04:40
All right, we're on track, moving towards you.
