This post initially had the wrong district and party affiliation for Delegate Joshua Cole. This is due to my error misreading transcription software and I had initially listed the wrong delegate all together. I regret this error and have made a correction.
Seems like quite an aggressive response to a hit and run. Was there anything about this particular incident that indicates he was a threat to the general public?
A suspect's name was out there for a while and other media outlets may still have it. That person had a criminal history, but the Virginia State Police did not use it in their social media post. The name may come back.
Where exactly is this "Ivy Road Exit" off Fontaine?
Where exactly did the suspect flee the vehicle?
UVA Alerts initially said, at 9:12, "Fire/Police activity in the area of Alderman Rd. Avoid the area."
Around 11, there was an alert that said: "Suspect on foot last seen off Grounds near Alderman Rd and McCormick Rd."
How might the suspect have gotten to Alderman/McCormick on foot, given where he fled his vehicle?
Presently, the suspect was identified on a neighborhood email as Nayeem Hill. A google search shows that he received a 5-year criminal sentence last July which was then reduced to 14 months.
I saw the name, but removed it my initial story awaiting confirmation. I also have an eyewitness report from an off-record source that places someone fleeing at St. Anne's Belfield at some point.

That is a very good question.

Lots of questions!

So, did he break out of jail?

Hi Sean thanks for the good work! Correction needed! You mention Josh Cole HD65 - he’s a Democrat not a Republican.
Thanks! I know exactly what happened to cause me to make that error, and it's an error I will correct now.
