SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- The suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred Friday afternoon in San Francisco's Sunset District took his own life Friday night during a standoff with police.
At 9:48 p.m., officers with the San Francisco Police Department located a vehicle at 47th and Lincoln avenues that matched the description of the vehicle used by a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide that occurred earlier in the day on 34th Avenue, police said.
Police located the suspect, identified as Winston Hue, 67, inside the vehicle and confirmed he was armed with a handgun.
