Downtown Seattle is currently under a state of heightened alert following a dramatic and prolonged rooftop chase between former “Sneaker Boy” Ty and a heavily armed Collector’s surveillance drone. The incident, which began shortly after 4:00 PM PST, has resulted in significant property damage and a city-wide scramble to locate the fugitive.

Initial reports indicate that the Collector, identified only as “The Collector,” dispatched his specialized drone – a sleek, black, and heavily armored unit – to apprehend Ty after he successfully secured a rare, prototype ‘Air Max 97’ prototype from a secure storage facility. Witnesses describe a chaotic scene unfolding across several rooftops, with the drone relentlessly pursuing Ty as he navigated the city’s skyline.

“It was insane,” said local restaurant owner, Maria Sanchez, who observed the chase from her establishment’s patio. “This thing… it wasn’t just flying, it was *hunting*. The rotors were deafening, and the beam it was projecting… it just felt wrong.”

The Collector’s drone deployed a series of non-lethal deterrents, including sonic blasts and targeted bursts of compressed air, in an attempt to force Ty to surrender. However, Ty, utilizing his agility and knowledge of the city’s architecture, managed to evade capture for nearly two hours. The chase culminated in a standoff atop the Museum of Pop Culture, where Ty reportedly disabled the drone’s propulsion system with a makeshift device constructed from salvaged electronics.

“He’s got a knack for this,” commented a security guard, who requested anonymity. “I’ve seen him pull off moves that would make a gymnast jealous. This Collector is going to be hunting him for a long time.”

Following the drone’s incapacitation, authorities are now attempting to locate and apprehend The Collector, who remains at large. The stolen Air Max 97 prototype remains in Ty’s possession, and its fate is currently unknown. The incident has prompted a review of security protocols within Seattle’s high-security storage facilities, and officials are urging the public to remain vigilant. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
