(CNN) -- After allegedly leading police on a
bullet-riddled chase and barricading himself inside a house, a wanted
man in California surrendered early Saturday, authorities said.
It may have been the fact
that a California SWAT team had him pinned down, or that his relatives
were tugging at his heart strings to come out.
Or it could have been the robot police sent into the house to tell him to obey police orders.
All of it may have
persuaded Samuel Duran to walk unarmed out of the house in Roseville,
near Sacramento, said local police spokesman Brian Jacobson.
Pleading aunt
Hours earlier, his aunt had begged him to give himself up.
"Sammy, I love you," Donna Sandoval said into CNN affiliate KOVR's camera. "Just come home."
But it's unlikely Duran will return home soon.
He is accused of shooting four law officers on Friday with an "assault-style rifle," police spokesman Lt. Cal Walstad said.
ICE sought him
Authorities had been searching for Duran for weeks. Police did not say why.
They traced him to
Roseville, and a special agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement
went looking for him there together with local police on Friday
afternoon.
The ICE agent's division
is responsible for chasing down alleged drug smugglers, gun smugglers
and human traffickers, among other criminal suspects operating across
U.S. borders.
When the officers found Duran, a gunfight broke out, Walstad said.
A bullet struck the ICE
special agent in the leg, and he was taken to a hospital, ICE
spokeswoman Virginia Kice said. By late Friday, he was said to be stable
and alert.
