Evansville Police were called to a shooting in the 800 block of Erie Ave around 7:30 Friday night. Police arrived and found a female laying on the sidewalk. She had a gunshot wound and was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased.
Witnesses gave officers information on the suspect and his vehicle. Officers saw the truck on Hwy 41 near St. George. When officers tried to pull the truck over, the suspect led them on a chase into Warrick County. The chase ended when the suspect got stuck in a yard in the 10,000 block of Heim Rd. When the truck came to a stop, officers heard a single gunshot fired from inside the truck cab.
Officers tried to establish communication with the suspect, but were unsuccessful. Officers approached the truck and determined the suspect had sustained a gunshot wound. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. No officers fired their weapon during this incident.
Based on the initial information, investigators believe the suspect and the victim had been in a relationship that had recently ended.
