Officers were responding to a 911 call that came in at 8:34 p.m. saying two people inside that home had been shot.
Police found 27-year old Wyleek Shaw and 8-year old Zahmire Lopez inside the home suffering from gunshot wounds as a result of a domestic dispute.
Officers found Rand outside the home and gave chase after they saw him place something in a dumpster.
Moments after officers radioed "foot pursuit," the video shows Rand rounding a corner with officers Steven Ferreira and Ryan Castro in pursuit.
