An area man wanted for shooting an ex-girlfriend in Missouri on Friday has been found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Shelby County, Mo. sheriff’s department officials said Patrick J. McIntire, 41, of Waverly was found dead Sunday outside a white Ford Explorer he had been driving.

The sheriff’s department was informed about 2:35 p.m. Sunday that the Explorer was parked in a wooded area about nine miles north of Bethel, Mo. which is about 50 miles west of Quincy.

A warrant for McIntire’s arrest was issued after an ex-girlfriend was shot north of Bethel just before noon on Friday. She was taken to a Macon, Mo. hospital.

McIntire was a registered sex offender after having been convicted of the aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a 14-year-old in Macoupin County.
