Once outside, Burton would tell police, he said to himself, “I’m taking this truck,” and he shot Jaillet in the head. He took the keys and the truck and made a right onto Washington Boulevard.

After Burton took off from the rental center, he headed toward Butler Street in Lawrenceville, according to the complaint. An officer in an unmarked car activated his lights and siren and tried to catch up. He followed Burton onto Route 28.

At one point, Burton struck a Chevy Tahoe in traffic and then shot at the driver, according to the complaint.
