CLEVELAND (AP):
A wanted man who abducted his estranged girlfriend at gunpoint along with her 1-year-old she was pushing in a stroller, was found dead hours later in Cleveland in the United States yesterday
The woman and child were also found dead.
Police said the couple had dated for about two months and that the woman, Latasha Jackson, 19, was trying to end the relationship.
Jackson and daughter Chaniya Wynn were walking with Jackson's 14-year-old brother around noon Saturday when they encountered the man, Thomas Lorde, according to police.
The teen told police that Lorde pulled out a gun and ordered him to walk away, saying he was going to kill Jackson and take the child.
Their bodies were found early Sunday in a closed garage of an unoccupied building, and police reported that it appeared that Lorde shot himself in the head. The county coroner was to determine the causes of death.
