ELKO, Nev. — Police say a man sought in connection with an Elko homicide was found dead in a North Las Vegas motel room one day after the alleged murder.
Police Capt. Will Lehman tells the Elko Daily Free Press that 53-year-old David Michael Heinzig was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound early Sunday.
Heinzig was a suspect in the Saturday shooting death of his ex-wife, 42-year-old Mary Inman. She died from an apparent gunshot wound while working at Smith Power Products.
Police say Inman had previously been threatened by Heinzig. The couple divorced last year.
Heinzig's car was located in Las Vegas about 2 a.m.
Lehman says police evacuated adjoining rooms and ordered Heinzig to come out. When he didn't respond, officers entered and found him dead.
