Steve Stephens found dead inside car in Erie, Pa.

ERIE, PA. - Steve Stephens, the man wanted for killing a 74-year-old man and uploading the video to Facebook Easter Sunday, has been found dead inside a car in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Stephens was spotted by an "alert citizen" near the city's intersection of Buffalo Road and Downing Avenue around 11 a.m. Tuesday, Pennslyvania State Police Troopers troopers said in a Facebook post.

Authorities began a search of the nearby area.

Troopers initiated a chase that lasted for roughly two miles and then attempted a move to try to disable the white Ford Fusion he was driving, officials said.

"As the vehicle was spinning out of control from the PIT maneuver, Stephens pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head," troopers wrote.

Stephens' vehicle sustained minor damage after a trooper couldn't stop in time and hit the car, but no injuries to law enforcement were reported.

On Sunday, Stephens allegedly shot and killed 74-year-old Robert Godwin, Sr., on E. 93rd Street and posted video of the killing to his Facebook account.

Stephens also went live on Facebook to confess to the murder.

His account has since been disabled and the videos are no longer public.

Cleveland Police issued an aggravated murder warrant for Stephens and a $50,000 reward was offered for information leading to his capture.

Good riddance, hope he was in fear and pain when he shot himself. Unfortuantely there are to many "live" platforms. Many people have done awful things with them, but it has also helped solve many crimes as well.

Good riddance for sure! It was great how the heroes at McDonalds who held up his order at the drive-thru so the police could get there. They deserve the $50,000 reward!
