A high-speed chase on Sunday night led to the arrest of Edgar Gomez-Guadarrama, who is suspected of a violent home invasion in Elwood earlier that evening. Fishers Police Department officers apprehended Gomez-Guadarrama, 28, from Fishers, following a pursuit and crash.

The incident began around 10:20 p.m. when Fishers police were alerted by Hamilton County Dispatch that Madison County officers were searching for Gomez-Guadarrama. The suspect had reportedly stolen a firearm and was involved in an altercation in Elwood. Officers received a detailed description of both the suspect and his vehicle.

A Fishers police officer spotted the vehicle on State Road 37 and verified through dispatch that it matched the one sought in connection with the Elwood incident. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle after it ran a red light at 131st and Parkside Drive. However, Gomez-Guadarrama allegedly sped away, apparently driving recklessly and crossing into oncoming traffic while reaching speeds exceeding 100 mph.

The chase ended when the suspect crashed the vehicle at 126th and Parkside Drive. Gomez-Guadarrama then fled on foot into a nearby field. Fishers police deployed a drone, which detected a heat signature, allowing officers to locate and arrest Gomez-Guadarrama without further incident.

Authorities reported that Gomez-Guadarrama exhibited signs of intoxication and submitted to a breath test. Upon his arrest, Elwood Police provided further details of the initial incident. Gomez-Guadarrama had allegedly broken into a home, strangled a woman in the presence of a child, and stolen a firearm. The victim and her child managed to escape and contact the police.

Elwood Police are seeking a warrant for charges related to the violent incident. Gomez-Guadarrama is currently in custody, and the investigation is ongoing.
