Investigators with LCSO’s Real Time Intelligence Center used nearby business surveillance, traffic cameras, and license plate readers to help identify the SUV.

On Tuesday, deputies located the RAV4 and the driver, 43-year-old Yideyela Suarez Cedeno, who was identified as the suspect’s mother. Her son, Jose Suarez, was also present and taken into custody.
