At a news conference Thursday afternoon, police chief Paul Joseph released additional details about the incidents, which involved at least six law enforcement agencies.
According to Joseph, the crime spree began on Jan. 17, when Husein stole a red Chevrolet Corvette from a dealership in Sacramento. On the same day, the suspect committed an armed robbery outside of San Jose and a second armed robbery at a liquor store on McKee Road in East San Jose.
On Wednesday, an automatic license plate reader located the stolen Corvette and officers engaged in a brief pursuit. Officers lost track of the sports car before finding it unoccupied.
A San Jose Police Department helicopter monitored the Corvette as it traveled more than 40 miles to Hollister in San Benito County. Deputies with the San Benito Sheriff's Office located the vehicle and engaged in a slow speed pursuit, which ended when the vehicle became disabled.
No injuries were reported in the Hollister incidents.
The chief said the sergeant was struck in the head and his skull was fractured.
"The suspect continued to circle the sergeant's patrol vehicle while firing at him from only feet away, bullets hitting the vehicle as a sergeant returned fire while bleeding from the head," Joseph said.
Scene of a shootout involving an armed carjacking suspect and San Jose police in downtown San Jose on Jan. 21, 2026. CBSJoseph said the suspect continued to move and was armed. Additional officers shot Husein, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"This was a scene none of us ever want to witness in real life. It's this kind of footage people might expect from an action movie, but this was not a movie," Joseph said.
"Every officer involved will carry the heaviness of what happened with them for the rest of their lives. Some members of the public who were caught in the crossfire described it as the closest thing to a war they have ever witnessed," Joseph said. "That gives you a sense of how intense, terrifying those moments were, not just for officers, but for the community."
"Every day, our officers put on the uniform knowing the risks, and yesterday was a reminder of the courage and dedication that they bring to protect our community. I can't imagine the courage it takes to run towards a situation like that and not away from it, but thank God they ran toward it," Foley said.
According to Jospeh, Husein's criminal history was primarily in Northern California
