The two-day manhunt for Facebook killer Steve Stephens has finally come to an end.
According to Pennsylvania State Police “After a brief pursuit, Stephens shot and killed himself,”
He was found dead in his white ford fusion with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Goerie.com reported that Erie Police have confirmed that Stephens death was a suicide.
Erie police have confirmed the suicide in Erie on Tuesday of Steve Stephens, the Cleveland resident suspected of fatally shooting a Cleveland man on Sunday and posting video of the slaying on Facebook.
Stephens died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while driving a white Ford Fusion near Buffalo Road and Downing Avenue around 11:10 a.m., police said.
State police were following the car as it headed west into Erie after leaving a nearby McDonald’s, police said.
The car, pointed west, is stopped in the westbound lane of Buffalo Road, across from the former Burton Elementary School, 1660 Buffalo Road. Police are blocking off the entire school grounds.
Erie police are also at the scene, with Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook and the FBI and Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri.
The manhunt for a truly unstable man has thankfully come to an end. My thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s and their families.
