After shooting, California man flees in a U-Haul truck and leads authorities on high-speed chase

LOS ANGELES — An Anaheim man has been booked for attempted murder after police say he shot a man in the head, fled the scene in a U-Haul truck, then led multiple law enforcement agencies on a high-speed chase before a SWAT team finally took him into custody.

Garden Grove police received reports at about 2:45 a.m. Saturday that a man had been shot at a home in the 5300 block of Santa Barbara Avenue, authorities said. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man in the back bedroom with a gunshot wound to his head.

Witnesses told police that they saw Ali Samoodi, 51, take off in a rented U-Haul after the shooting. They said Samoodi was in a relationship with the man who was shot.
