At 7:55 p.m. PST on Monday, February 9, 2009, a low speed chase began in North Hollywood, California that took police on several busy L.A. freeways, including Interstates 10, 5, 405 and the Hollywood Freeway. The white Bentley sedan, worth more than $100,000, finally came to a standstill at 11:15 p.m. a block from where the chase initially began. Over a dozen police officers surrounded the vehicle during the final 90-minute stand-off, which ended when the driver suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to an LA Times source he was taken to a local hospital where his condition was listed as 'grave.'L.A. Times: Suspect Leads Police on Low-speed Pursuit in a Bentley, Shoots...

Initial reports of the car chase speculated the driver was Chris Brown, but these allegations were quickly refuted by police. However, with the presence of paparazzi on the scene, speculations that the suspect was a celebrity continued to flare. During the 90-minute stand-off close-up shots were shown of the man behind the wheel, causing many to report the man was Miami's DJ Khaled. Police spoke out that the suspect, who had allegedly assaulted his girlfriend with a deadly weapon before the chase began, was not a high profile figure. In a MySpace blog believed to be DJ Khaled's, the Florida rapper tells his fans he is at work in Miami and not involved in a car chase in Los Angeles.LAist: Chris Brown Car Chase?
