Des Moines police received a tip that Haner was in the area and they began to follow him and an unknown accomplice in the stolen car. They crashed the car just off Washington Avenue on East 14th. Police apprehended Haner in the area of East 14th Street and Osceola Avenue.

KCCI-TV in Des Moines reports multiple law enforcement officers worked together, blocking off various parts of East 14th Street. Police said Haner was easy to catch but the accomplice proved more of a challenge. He scrambled through neighborhoods, followed by dogs and heavily armed officers before he gave up and was captured at a home.

Council Bluffs Police Captain Todd Weddum says Haner will be held in the Polk County Jail, until arrangements are made for him to be brought back to Pottawattamie County; at this time, it is unknown when that will be. Two others were arrested in connection with the murder. 21-year old Liam Stec and an unidentified 16-year old male, both from Omaha, are in custody. Police said the teen’s case will begin in Juvenile Court, when and if there is a determination to hear his case as an adult in District Court, his identity will become public record.
