The driver of a vehicle that led police on a chase in Brighton yesterday has been charged with attempted murder. The chase ended with a shooting between two suspects and two police officers on Parker Springs Street near the Bessemer Super Highway.

A passenger in the car, Calvin Lee Robinson, Jr., was killed in the shooting.

Police have identified the driver as Isaiah Brown. He was injured in the shooting but his condition is unknown. Brown's bond is set at $60,000.
