Shooting suspect found dead

Peoria police say the hunt for the man who allegedly shot his wife last night is over. Officers found 34-year old Reginald Williams dead in an alley of the 26-hundred block of North Prospect Thursday morning.

Williams reportedly shot his estranged wife multiple times last night at a home on North Maryland Avenue. Ladequa Williams was taken to the hospital where she was in stable condition.

The Peoria County Coroner's report says Williams died of a single, likely self inflicted gunshot to the head.
