Police said the suspect in a Saraland, Alabama murder killed himself before officers could arrest him.
25-year-old Lexas Breanna Evans was found dead from a gunshot wound on Saturday near Highway 45 at Waterall Drive. Detectives said they later identified the suspect as 50-year-old Rico Washington.
Saraland police said Washington was found dead at a cemetery on Shelton Beach Road Extension in Prichard.
Evans family said Washington used to hang out with them and they think he killed Evans because he was in love with her and she did not feel the same way.
A spokesperson for the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said Washington had multiple complaints against him for stalking women but the complainants never followed up.
