A New Brighton man facing attempted homicide charges after firing a gun at a gas station in Beaver County was last seen after fleeing police in Cranberry Township.

Jalen Isaiah Sims, 33, of New Brighton, is facing two felony counts each of attempted homicide and aggravated assault, two felony firearms charges, a felony count of theft, two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count each of tampering with evidence and terroristic threats filed Monday by New Brighton police.

Police were dispatched at 8:26 p.m. to the Speedway on Fifth Street for a report of gunshots fired and spoke with a couple who reported a man carrying a handgun approached them on foot while they were in their vehicle at a gas pump and fired a shot that hit, but didn’t enter, the vehicle, according to an affidavit.

The couple said the man got into a vehicle and fled after firing the shot.

Using footage from business security cameras, police said they identified Sims in the front seat passenger in a tan Volkswagen. The footage shows Sims exiting the car and pacing in front of the store before retrieving a book bag from the back seat and removing a black firearm with an extended magazine from the bag, according to the affidavit.

Police said Sims then looked around and saw the couple’s SUV enter the parking lot. He approached the SUV, raised the gun and fired it, striking the vehicle just above the windshield, according to the affidavit.

He then got back into the front passenger seat of the Volkswagen, which fled south on Fifth Avenue, according to the affidavit.

At 9 p.m., Cranberry Township police saw the Volkswagen and reported the driver was in custody, but the passenger fled.

Around the same time, police learned New Sewickley Township police had been dispatched to Rochester Road in Rochester, Beaver County, for a report two men had thrown a backpack over a hillside and left. Police responded there and found backpack containing a Glock handgun with an extended magazine.

A doorbell camera recorded Sims exiting the Volkswagen’s passenger door carrying a book bag, walking to the edge of a parking lot and throwing the bag into the woods, according to the affidavit. The driver also was seen in the footage, police said.

The driver told police Sims asked him to drive him around and said he would buy him gasoline. They stopped at the Speedway for gas before the shooting took place. After the shooting, Sims got back into the Volkwagen and told the driver to drive, but the driver refused. Sims then pointed the gun at the driver and told him drive or he would shoot him, according to the affidavit.

The driver told police he pulled into a church parking lot after the Volkswagen ran out of gas. The driver said he called 911 after Sims started walking away, but Sims returned and punched him in the face. Sims ran when police arrived.

Sims was still at large as of the most recent information released by police at 5:30 p.m. Monday.
