The SIU says officers were able to initiate brief negotiations with the man, however shortly after the male within the vehicle suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The SIU says two investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to the case, the Special Investigations Unit is asking anyone with information or video footage to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529.
