Oklahoma manhunt ends with suspect dead

Posted

LEEDEY, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma authorities say their intense manhunt for the person accused of killing two relatives and wounding three law enforcement officers ended in a shootout with police that left the suspect dead.

 Authorities believe Michael Dale Vance Jr. recorded two Facebook Live videos documenting his run from police.

Officers pursued Vance for about half an hour when he was approached by an Oklahoma state trooper.

The trooper shot and killed Vance Sunday, 130 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

Authorities were tipped off to Vance's whereabouts by a farmer who spotted a vehicle in his field that matched the description of the car.

Vance, 38, was wanted on multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder.
