A suspect was quickly identified. Shortly after, a concerned resident called in a suspicious vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle near the 500 block of northwest 7th Court. Officers immediately located the vehicle and initiated a high-risk traffic stop.
The suspect's vehicle failed to stop and after a brief pursuit, the vehicle crashed near 133 Leisureville Boulevard. At that point, the suspect was found with a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound.
WPTV's Michael Hoffman spoke with residents of the community. Steven Kilkes, lives on the street where the crash happened, and saw it all.
"I saw about 10 or 15, police cars chasing it," said Kilkes. "All of a sudden, it crashes into the tree, hits the pole, and what hits the stop sign comes to a complete stop right here. It hits the tree so hard, the impact and the car just bounced back."
"What happens if that tree is that tree wasn't there," asked WPTV's Michael Hoffman. "I wouldn't be here if that tree wasn't here."
During the course of the investigation, multiple schools and businesses were placed on a precautionary lockdown. All lockdowns have been lifted and there is no immediate threat to the community. The investigation is ongoing.
