A homicide suspect who led police on a more than 15-minute chase has died in the hospital.

The Fort Wayne Police Department confirmed the death today. The man had a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to information police initially disclosed in mid-September.

The Allen County Coroner's Office typically discloses the names of people who have died and been connected to a police-related matter.

The Sept. 16 incident involved a suspect whom police were told had placed a person in the back of a vehicle and then left the area of the 2300 block of Cortland Avenue after a shooting report.
