Posted: Updated:

ABC 33/40 has learned the identities of the three people killed when a fleeing suspect vehicle hit their car.

20 year old Ryan Culwell, 23 year old Amber Verus and 10 month old Rogue Culwell died on the scene Monday night.  All three victims are from Hanceville.

A suspect who led law enforcement on a chase in Walker County and Jefferson County struck their vehicle at the Highway 269 and Minor Parkway intersection.  It happened around 8:00pm.

The suspects were wanted for a robbery at a house of an elderly couple in Cordova earlier Monday night.  Cordova Police put a BOLO out for the suspects. 

Dora Police found the suspect vehicle.  Dora's Police Chief tells ABC 33/40 that officers chased the suspects until they got to McDonald's Chapel.  That's when the suspects drove through yards, causing damage to property.  Officers lost the suspects.

The suspects ended up crashing into Culwell's vehicle a short time later.  They fled the scene on foot.

The search continues for the men.  Several agencies including the U.S. Marshal's are involved in the search.
