The incident Saturday happened just after 4 p.m., when members of the Guns and Gangs Unit saw a man wanted on warrants get into a cab in the 3200 block of 33rd Street.
After officers stopped the cab, the suspect got out of the backseat and pointed a gun in the direction of police officers. That prompted one of the officers to fire their gun.
Police didn’t say how many shots were fired.
The suspect ran into a mall in the 300 block of Confederation Drive, leading to a police operation in the neighbourhood. The man wasn’t located.
Police said Tuesday that investigators determined Herman was the suspect.
On Monday at about 10:30 p.m., officers tried to stop a vehicle in the area of Eighth Street East and Grosvenor Avenue because they thought Herman was inside.
The driver took off, colliding with a post at St. Henry Avenue and Ruth Street East. The driver ran off and police couldn’t find him.
Herman is described as 6-foot-1 and about 175 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm, a tattoo of skulls on his left forearm, the name “Ryder” on the left side of his neck and a tattoo of faces on his right calf.
Police say he may have a gun, so anyone who sees him is urged to avoid him.
Anyone with information on Herman’s whereabouts is asked to call 911, the police non-emergency line at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
