MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — A man wanted on an attempted murder charge out of Virginia remained at large Saturday after fleeing a traffic stop and leading officers on a pursuit out of the city Friday evening, the Myrtle Beach Police Department said.
Officers located the wanted man in a vehicle just after 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, in the area of North Kings Highway and 1st Avenue South, according to the department. Police identified him as Dorian Evans and said he is wanted for attempted murder out of Virginia.
When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, it fled, police said. Myrtle Beach officers pursued the vehicle northbound out of the city and requested assistance from the Horry County Police Department, according to the department.
Officers from both departments continued the pursuit until it ended on Highway 22 near Highway 501, police said. Evans then ran from the car, according to the department.
Myrtle Beach and Horry County officers searched for Evans for several hours, but he was not located, police said.
The department’s statement did not say whether anyone else was in the vehicle, whether anyone was injured, or whether any charges beyond the Virginia warrant are expected.
