11:20 AM CDT, March 18, 2011

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.

A Detroit man has been found dead in a car less than an hour after police in one of the city's northern suburbs identified him as a suspect in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend.

Southfield police Lt. Nick Loussia (loo-SEE'-uh) says Mitchell Kitchens' body was found before 11 a.m. Friday in a parked car in nearby Royal Oak.

Loussia says the 31-year-old appears to have shot himself.

Police say they responded to a report of a shooting about 7 p.m. Thursday at Daphane Ramey's Southfield home and found her lying in the doorway. Ramey had been shot multiple times and died at the scene.

Detroit Public Schools officials say she was a teacher at Douglass Academy for Young Men.
