This morning, just before 4:30 a.m., dispatch received a 911 call from 607 Riverside Drive in which the caller stated there was an unresponsive male with blood on his head inside of a vehicle.
When officers arrived at the location, they discovered a deceased male with apparent gunshot wounds inside of a vehicle.
Through investigation, officers identified a suspect and suspect vehicle which matched the descriptions given for a suicidal subject that was called in to 911 prior to this incident. The vehicle was soon found unoccupied in the 500 block of West Marine View Drive.
A search for the suspect was conducted using a K-9 and a drone. A call later came into 911 of a body in the water in the 1700 block of West Marine View Drive.
