According to a report by New York Times, the three-day manhunt in a fatal shooting that garnered intense attention all over the world ended on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 with a brief vehicle chase.
Steve Stephens, the man suspected of killing 74-year-old Robert Godwin and uploading a video of the murder to Facebook, has died following a police chase.
Adam Reed told NBC News that a citizen tip placed Stephens' white Ford Fusion near the McDonald's early Tuesday. At this point, Stephens shot himself in the head with a pistol before officers were able to approach him.
Police would not speculate on what was behind the killing, but in the video and other footage he posted, Stephens talked about losing everything he had to gambling and having trouble with his girlfriend.
The video of the shooting was not broadcast live, as police originally reported.
Cleveland police on Monday advised residents of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana and NY that Stephens could be in those states, and the manhunt for Stephens soon expanded nationwide.
She said she dated 37-year-old Stephens for several years and they were living together until last Friday.

Police say Stephens shot and killed Godwin on Sunday on East 93rd Street. This latest breakthrough in the case of murder suspect Steve Stephens has sent authorities to expand the manhunt to five states. But Stephens apparently told his mother on the phone that he had killed the man because he was "mad with his girlfriend".
He carried out his crime in the U.S. city of Cleveland, Ohio, shooting Robert Godwin Sr, 74, at point-blank range. Some activists have claimed Facebook has unfairly removed evidence of police violence against residents, while others are upset that it took the site so long to take down a video clearly showing a violent crime.
Authorities in multiple states had been searching for him since then. Ultimately, the search ended 100 miles away in the city on Lake Erie.
"[The employee] said, 'I think that's the guy".
"She's the reason that this is about to happen to you", Stephens tells Godwin before pointing a gun at him.
