Denver police are investigating a fatal shooting in southwest Denver after a shooting-turned-pursuit Sunday morning ended with the death of a man and the suspect.
At 8:57 a.m., Denver police officials said a man was shot near the 3400 block of W. Arkansas Ave., and police began a vehicle pursuit of the suspect.
The 20 minute pursuit led authorities to South University Boulevard and Cherry Hills Farm Drive where the suspect crashed into another vehicle, crashed again, then stopped.
Inside the crashed vehicle, a DPD spokesperson said, the suspect was found dead from “an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
Three occupants of other vehicles impacted in the crash are uninjured, according to police.
Police are investigating the incident as a homicide and authorities are investigating “the entirety of the incident,” the DPD spokesperson said.
