Casa Grande police said its search for a suspect accused of shooting an off-duty officer and another person has ended after the man was found dead on Wednesday afternoon.
In a tweet, Casa Grande police said 37-year-old Juan Pablo Rodriguez-Fregoso was found dead in Mesa. Police said in the tweet that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
