CHICAGO (STMW) -- A man wanted for questioning in a north suburban homicide died of a self-inflicted gunshot in Chicago's River North neighborhood Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Leo Amin, 30, was wanted for questioning after 46-year-old Dena Seymour was found dead in a home about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 31200 block of North Alleghany Road in unincorporated Avon Township, according to Lake County sheriff's office spokesman Det.

Late Tuesday, Covelli said Amin had been found dead in the 600 block of North State Street in Chicago.

About 4:30 p.m., Chicago Police responded to that block and found Amin with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
