[Updated at 4:56 p.m.] A woman who fled the restaurant has told CNN that she saw the suspect being taken into police custody. 

[Updated at 4:37 p.m.] Detective David Ramer of the Chandler police said authorities are trying to establish communications with the suspect in a Baja Fresh restaurant in Arizona.

However, he said, police still cannot confirm a hostage situation or that the man in the restaurant is Daniel Munoz Perez. Federal marshals earlier confirmed the suspect was Munoz, who is wanted for aggravated assault for allegedly shooting at a police officer last month.

“I wish they would confirm it with us,” he told CNN. 

Ramer said the only thing of which he is certain is that the man in the restaurant is the same person who was engaged in a shootout with undercover officers outside the Chandler Fashion Center earlier Wednesday.

In addition to establishing communications with the suspect, police also will be setting up tactically to ensure he has no escape routes, the detective said.

[Updated at 4:02 p.m.] Law enforcement officials tell CNN affiliate KPHO that a sniper with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirms that two hostages are being held at a restaurant near the Chandler mall.
