Santana Matthews, 20, was speeding down 16th Street NW in a Chevy Malibu while fleeing from a police traffic stop, authorities said. The two D.C. police officers who attempted the traffic stop have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. Hours before the crash, Williams had texted his friend Quincy Chester to ask for a specific camera lens. On K Street, Matthews was intercepted by two D.C. police officers. A digital scale and additional Ziploc bag were also discovered on Matthews, court documents show.
