Surveillance video shows a truck tearing down the 3000 block of Euclid Avenue just after 8 a.m. Monday and two officers raced after him.

The man inside the car was Senyon Collins.

U.S Marshals were chasing him for a suspected felonious assault shooting. He got away and is still on the loose.

U.S. Marshals are allowed to give chase in Cleveland, but they don't have to follow the Cleveland Police Department's rules.

"Outside agencies are guided by the rules, regulations and policies of their individual department/agency just as our officers are mandated by our policy regardless of the jurisdiction," said CPD spokesperson Reginald Lanton.

News 5 reached out to the U.S. Marshals for several days. They told us the information on the chase policy would have to come from D.C. but we haven't heard anything back.

Councilman Basheer Jones is responsible for the area where the chase happened, and is also on the safety committee. He talks about streamlining the chase policies.

"You have people who are running away from different cities and then those officers are coming into our city and so we have to figure out a better way to how we are all working together and achieving a goal which is keeping all of our community safe," said the councilman.
