Ex-Yakima Police Officer Elias Huizar was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound after killing ex-wife Amber Rodriguez and teen girlfriend Angelica Santos and going on the run with his 1-year-old son.
The ex-Washington school cop who allegedly slaughtered his ex-wife and underage girlfriend before taking the teenager’s infant on the run has been found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.
Oregon State Troopers found Elias Huizar’s wounded body following a police chase near Eugene around 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to the West Richland Police Department.
He was taken to the hospital in unknown condition. The 1-year-old child he kidnapped was taken into custody by the troopers.
Huizar, 39, went on the run just 24 hours earlier after allegedly shooting ex-wife Amber Rodriguez eight times outside the elementary school where she worked.
The former couple’s 9-year-old son told officers that “he observed his father, Elias Huizar, shoot his mother,” according to a probable cause statement.
