A Long Beach man has been formally charged in the death of an
innocent motorist who was hit and killed by the suspect�s
vehicle as he fled law enforcement in San Bernardino County
earlier this week.

Noe Armando Banuelos, 32, also faces misdemeanor charges for
escaping police custody.

Banuelos was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly led law
enforcement on a high-speed chase that came to an abrupt end
when his vehicle crashed into the innocent driver.

Richard Pshock, 64, identified by the San Bernardino County
District Attorney�s Office as a United States Air Force veteran,
was killed in the collision.

The chase began earlier in the day when Banuelos� white Jeep
Cherokee was stopped by a California Highway Patrol trooper.
Banuelos initially pulled over and cooperated during the stop,
but when it was revealed he was wanted on a federal arrest
warrant out of Tennessee, he took off in an attempt to avoid
capture.

After leaving the freeway in Fontana, the Jeep collided with
Pshock�s Ford Mustang in the intersection of Beech and Cherry
avenues.

Video from the scene showed the carnage of the violent crash,
both vehicles sustaining major front end damage.

Banuelos, suffering injuries from the crash, attempted to flee
on foot but was quickly apprehended. He was taken to a nearby
hospital for treatment; Pshock was declared dead at the scene.

At some point during Banuelos� transfer from hospital to jail,
he managed to escape, which led to a multi-agency manhunt that
ended around 12:30 a.m. Thursday when he was found at an
abandoned golf course. Video from the scene showed Banuelos in
his tattered hospital clothes as he was being taken back into
custody.

On Friday, Banuelos appeared in a San Bernardino County
courtroom to be formally charged in Pshock�s death. He was
charged with felony charges of DUI manslaughter and hit-and-run
resulting in death, as well as the misdemeanor escape charge.

He also faces special allegations related to the crash and his
alleged fleeing, as well as for being a felon with a previous
first degree burglary conviction out of Los Angeles County.

Banuelos is being held without bail at the West Valley Detention
Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

Pshock was described in a verified GoFundMe page as a dedicated
father, husband and friend who served in the Armed Forces radio
and television service and remained active in the film and
television industry until his death.

�He was able to touch so many people�s lives by being the
honorable and loving individual he is,� the page reads.

Organizers of the fundraising campaign are asking for donations
to help cover the cost of funeral services and any other
unexpected expenses.
