<p>MUNCIE, Ind. — A man shot by police during a chase and gun battle in east central Indiana has died of his wounds, authorities said. </p>
<p>Jonathan Levi Allen, 28, a former Muncie resident who most recently resided in Wichita, Kansas, died sometime following the March 3 shooting, authorities told <a href="https://www.thestarpress.com/story/news/crime/2021/04/02/man-shot-muncie-police-during-march-chase-dies-wounds/4849646001/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot">The Star Press </a> on Thursday.</p>
<p>Indiana State Police said Allen was shot in the head by a Muncie officer and crashed his SUV into a parked vehicle.</p>
<p>Muncie officers responding to a report of a suspect in an SUV firing gunshots tried to pull the vehicle but Allen didn’t stop and a short pursuit ensued before police ended it because school buses were nearby. The chase resumed when authorities learned Allen was holding a female passenger against her will in his vehicle, state police said.</p>
<p>“The suspect began firing multiple gunshots from the SUV towards officers and civilians,” state police said in a news release.</p>
<p>Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman said he will review the state police investigation of the chase and shooting.</p>
