Yuhao Du, 26, previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but withdrew that plea on Tuesday
A man who tried to grab a California Highway Patrol officer's gun during an altercation on Interstate 8 in Mission Valley, leaving the lawman with a gunshot to a leg, pleaded guilty this week to attempted murder and attempting to take a firearm from a peace officer performing his duties.
At a preliminary hearing held in late 2022, a CHP investigator who interviewed Du testified that the defendant stated he was suffering from mental health issues that left him hospitalized on numerous occasions leading up to the shooting, and that voices in his head commanded him to crash his car into the center median of the freeway.
A short time later, Pacheco pulled over alongside the freeway at the site of the crash and spoke with Du, who was standing outside his car near the center median. The officer said that after some time, Du stated,"I want to kill myself" then asked,"Can you kill me?"
