Suspect in 2 women’s deaths dies in Michigan police standoff

ROMULUS, Mich. – Authorities say a man suspected of fatally shooting two women in Detroit has been killed during a standoff with police at a suburban hotel.

WWJ-AM reports the hourslong standoff Monday at a Romulus hotel ended with Pablo Medina dead. Police say he was shot after coming out of a storage closet and pointing a gun at officers.

Romulus police say Medina worked at the hotel but had been fired. They say he appeared to be living in the closet.

Detroit police say one of the women was sitting in a car, a block from the first shooting, and was killed as she tried to drive away early Saturday.

Police say Medina was the estranged husband of one of the victims.
