On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at approximately 11:33 PM, the Oxford County Regional Communications Center received a report of several shots fired on Park Street in the town of Paris. A Maine State Police Trooper from the Southern Field Troop was in the area and responded to assist.
Upon arrival, a blue SUV was observed leaving the immediate area. Officers attempted a traffic stop in West Paris, but the driver refused to pull over, initiating a high-speed pursuit. Law enforcement agencies from Oxford and Androscoggin counties assisted in the pursuit.
A spike mat was successfully deployed, and the vehicle ultimately crashed in a field on Route 26 in Mechanic Falls terminating the pursuit. All four occupants of the vehicle were transported to Central Maine Medical Center. One passenger sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The other passengers were treated and released. Two firearms were recovered following the pursuit.
The driver, 24-year-old Luis Andres Lorenzo Rondon of Lawrence, Massachusetts, was arrested and charged with Eluding an Officer, Reckless Conduct with a Dangerous Weapon (vehicle), Driving to Endanger and Criminal Speeding. Rondon was transported to the Androscoggin County Jail. No injuries were reported in connection to the shots fired in Paris.
The investigation is ongoing.
