Steve Stephens, the Cleveland killer who posted a video of him shooting a 74years old man on Facebook, killed himself in Pennsylvania after a police chase, officers said Tuesday.
An employee spotted Stephens' white Ford Fusion in the drive-thru of a McDonald's near Erie and called authorities.
Stephens fled and Pennsylvania State Police troopers gave chase. One officer performed a "PIT" maneuver, a strategic way of ramming a car to disable it.
"As the vehicle was spinning out of control from the PIT maneuver, Stephens pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head.
For two days, authorities across the country have been in search of Stephens, the man wanted for the death of Robert Godwin, a self-taught mechanic and grandfather of 14.
"We're grateful that this has ended," "We would prefer that it had not ended this way because there are a lot of questions, I'm sure, that not only the family, but the city in general would have had for Steve." Said Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams
