''One suspect still at large after horrific assault on an Everett Knight Errant precinct.''
A heavily armed and armored man is being hunted following an attempted jailbreak that turned into a bloodbath. Three shadowrunners belonging to the NeoHaven criminal network attempted to drive a heavily armored cargo van through the front door of a Knight Errant precinct around midnight, while a fourth compatriot blew a hole through the back door with explosives to reach the holding cells.
The team of hardened criminals proceeded to open fire on the officers inside, but the graveyard shift was under-prepared for such a sudden and brutal head-on assault. Reports indicate that the shadowrunners were attempting to rescue a dwarf woman using the handle "Feral" after her arrest earlier that night for possession of a forged SIN, resisting arrest, and assault on an officer. The frontal assault team and "Feral" were all captured by High Threat Response officers shortly after fleeing the scene in their heavily damaged van. However, one individual managed to evade capture.
This individual, heard by an officer on the scene identifying himself as "Striker" to another shadowrunner, exhibited at truly frightening level of strength and brutality. While the rest of the runners relied on automatic weaponry, "Striker" seems to prefer a more personal, shocking approach. When Officer Madelyn Chauncey attempted to assist another officer in disabling "Striker", the crazed criminal turned to face her and launched his fist clean through her chest at blinding speeds. Strangely, he was not nearly as brutal with Officer Danny Ramirez, who claims that the shadowrunner only attacked him with the flat of a katana after slaying Officer Chauncey.
"Striker" was last seen wearing full body military-style armor with a jaguar warrior painted on the helmet. Additionally, a harrowing message in Nahautl was inscribed on his armor's chest plate, which our experts have translated to "Death comes for you."
<An image of an approximately 190 cm tall figure wearing the FBA as described is attached, taken from an officer's body camera. One of his arms is drenched in blood and gore up to the elbow. Keen eyed runners will notice that the FBA is identical to that used by Stryker.>
Knight Errant is offering a bounty of 200,000¥ for the capture Officer Chauncey's killer, and rewards of up to 50,000¥ for information leading to an arrest. "Striker" is believed to be heavily armed and dangerous, it is advised to avoid direct confrontation unless you possess a valid bounty hunting license and sufficient experience to capture such a target.
A candlelit vigil is being held for Officer Madelyn Chauncey this Wednesday, as well as Officers Kasper Sokolowski and Nicolo Brancati who were killed by "Striker's" fellow criminals. All three Officers were beloved members of their community with a passion for community outreach and faithful service.
