The suspect in the September murder of a teenage girl has himself been found shot dead in his bullet-riddled car, according to police.
Deshawn Suggs, 18, was found dead in a car in San Antonio’s Far West Side early Saturday from a gunshot wound to the head — nearly four months after he was identified as the sole suspect in the murder of Alianna Ujueta, 17, who was also shot in the head while leaving a party.
Suggs’ car and a neighboring residence were riddled with bullet holes and his death has been ruled a homicide, according to News4SanAntonio.
Investigators say that they’re working to determine what led up to the shooting and no arrests have been made.
Ujueta was shot in the head while leaving a party on Luckey Road on Sept. 28 when a fight broke out, and someone fired a gun, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
A witness reported seeing Ujueta lying motionless in the road before she was run over by a fleeing black pickup truck, KENS5 reported.
Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene and her death was ruled a homicide.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar previously said evidence pointed to Suggs allegedly pulling the trigger and a warrant was put out for his arrest.
Police said Sunday Suggs is no longer wanted as he has been confirmed dead.
