Incident
K9 Ikon was struck and killed by a vehicle on I-5, near 112th Street, while tracking a subject during a foot pursuit.
The subject had been stopped for a traffic violation and then fled on foot after officers discovered he was wanted on a felony narcotics warrant. Ikon was released from his lead to track the subject through thick underbrush. As Ikon tracked the subject across I-5 he was struck by a vehicle.
His handler transported him to a local veterinary clinic where he died shortly after midnight.
