NBC 7 caught up with a grocery delivery driver who found himself in the middle of a violent, cross-city crime spree last week that involved multiple shootings, carjackings and even a rollover crash.

Then 20 minutes later, at around 7:10 p.m., deputies say Brown crashed the Nissan at Nolbey Street and Villa Cardiff Drive in Cardiff-by-the-Sea and then stole a Ford Fusion. The Fusion belongs to Gabriel Franca.Two suspects tied to shooting spree, carjackings across San Diego County arrested: SDSO

Deputies say Brown and Blunt ditched the Nissan while it was still moving and carjacked Franca at gunpoint. Franca was already outside of his car when Brown approached. He was able to identify the gun deputies confiscated from Brown as the weapon pointed at him. It was unserialized — commonly referred to as a"ghost gun" by law enforcement — and equipped with a 30-round magazine, which is illegal in California.

"It was mostly just to get the last known location for law enforcement to do their jobs," Franca said. Seconds later, a law enforcement helicopter was overhead. Brown and Blunt were both taken into custody in the parking lot of an LA Fitness on El Camino Real in Encinitas, according to deputies.
