WASHINGTON COUNTY, Pa. – An inquest into the death of a man who was shot and killed by officers after a police chase has been scheduled. Eduardo Hoover Jr., 38, died in the 1000-block of Jefferson Avenue in Washington on April 2, 2023, after what troopers said was an 18-mile-long police chase. According to state police, Hoover slowed down toward the end of the chase and allowed officers to get in front and behind his vehicle. He then stopped, put his truck in reverse and slammed into the front of a police car before driving forward and hitting a utility pole. After hitting the pole, police said Hoover put his car back in reverse and sped toward the officers, prompting them to shoot. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The inquest into Hoover’s death will be conducted on Tuesday, October 24 in the public meeting room at the Washington County Crossroads Center.
