Hartselle Police said the Priceville Police Department was involved in a vehicle chase that entered Hartselle on Highway 36. The car crashed at the intersection where the suspect's vehicle hit another vehicle carrying Tristan Hollis, 17, and at least three others, who were injured.

Hollis' grandmother said he was killed in that incident.

“Tristan had just got his first car and just celebrated his 17th birthday. He was a very polite young man and loved sweet treats,” his obituary read. “He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.”

The other people injured in the crash were identified as brothers Gavin Prater, 14, and Noah Prater, 16 and Braxton Wales, according to fundraisers set up by the teens' families.

“This is a complex and in-depth investigation. As such, it will take time and will not be concluded in the near future,” Hartselle Police Chief Alan McDearmond said at the time.

“I would like to add that we extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all those impacted by this tragedy,” Holmes added.
