WAVERLY - A Waverly native will appear on "America's Most Wanted" this weekend - in a good way.

Joe Ledoux, 28, a Berkeley, Calif., police officer, helped the Fox television show, which highlights fugitives, with the re-enactment of a May gang shooting and car chase in West Berkeley.

"It's nice when your child is on 'America's Most Wanted,' and he's not the one that's wanted," said his mother, Pam Ledoux, who still lives in Waverly.

The segment is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. Saturday. The local Fox affiliate is KFXA, Channel 28, in Cedar Rapids.

"America's Most Wanted" is featuring Rafael Campbell, a 25-year-old California resident wanted in connection with the shooting and pursuit that left three people dead.

Ledoux was working patrol at the time and was sent to the shooting.

"I responded to that scene. At the same time officers were in route to that, they picked up a vehicle fleeing at a high rate of speed. They chased it, and during the chase he hit another car, which hit a pedestrian that was on the sidewalk," Joe Ledoux said.

When the television show decided to pick up the case, they shot the re-enactment on location in Berkeley.

"They used our vehicles, used our streets, our officers," Joe Ledoux said.

The shoot lasted about five days.

"It was like a movie. They had semis full of film equipment," he said.

A preliminary cut of the re-enactment runs about six minutes, and Ledoux can be seen pulling up and getting out of his police department sport utility vehicle after the crash. He isn't sure if that part will make the broadcast Saturday.

Authorities said Campbell was one of four suspects in the crime.

Charles David, 25, was gunned down on Allston Way and died at the scene. Officers spotted a Cadillac fleeing the area and chased it until the driver crashed into a Mazda and a pedestrian. Both the pedestrian, Floyd Ross, 41, and the Mazda driver, Todd Perea, 27, died.

Two people in the fleeing car were arrested at the scene of the accident, but Campbell and another suspect, Samuel Flowers, escaped.

Flowers, 21, arrested May 25 in Bal Harbour, Fla., but Campbell remains at large.

There is a $47,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction through the city of Berkeley and Bay Area Crime Stoppers.

Born in California, Joe Ledoux grew up in Waverly and graduated from Waverly-Shell Rock High School in 2000. He attended the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls but then moved to California to finish his degree in international business.

He became interested in law enforcement from friends who were on the police force. He is now assigned to the Berkeley Police Department's drug task force.
