SAN ANTONIO – A person wanted in connection to a Fort Hood criminal investigation has died after he shot himself early Wednesday.
The Killeen Police Department said officers located him around 1:30 a.m. in the 4700 block of East Rancier Avenue. When they attempted to make contact with the man, he fired the gun at himself. He died from the self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Later Wednesday, an attorney for the family of missing Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen said she believes that suspect is tied to Guillen’s disappearance.

Last month, Army officials said they suspect foul play in her disappearance. The Army also said they launched a probe into sexual harassment allegations after Guillen’s family said she was harassed by one of her sergeants.
