The end for China's most wanted man began early on a muggy morning in Chongqing's Shapingba District.
Officers Zhou Jin and Wang Xiaoyu were on the lookout for any trace of the suspect when they received word that a man fitting Zhou Kehua's description had been spotted in their area.
Shortly after, a man wearing sunglasses and talking on a cellphone walked by. Officer Zhou was first to follow.
"He kept looking back at me," Officer Zhou told China Central Television. He said they couldn't be sure that it was the man they were looking for.
But after passing a road junction and entering an alley, the man began to speed up.
As the officers began to give chase, the suspect suddenly turned around and walked towards them.
"I focused all my attention on whether he would take out a weapon," said Officer Zhou, who had his hand on his gun.
But the moment the two officers drew their weapons the suspect opened fire.
Officer Zhou took cover behind a pole and fired back. Officer Wang flattened himself against a wall, also firing at the suspect. Zhou fired three shots at the police but was hit four times.
"We gained the vantage positions," said Officer Wang. "We could cover each other then."
Quickly removing a pistol from the suspect's hand the officers checked Zhou's body while waiting for backup - the hunt for China's most wanted serial killer was over at 6:50am.
