A man suspected of fatally shooting three women and a 13-year-old girl in Memphis was found dead early Sunday with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the police said, ending an hourslong manhunt.
The police said that the man, Mavis Christian Jr., 52, was involved in shootings at three locations on Saturday, in which four were killed and one was seriously injured.
All of the victims were relatives of Mr. Christian, the police said.
The police started looking for Mr. Christian on Saturday afternoon around 5:40 p.m., after the first shooting in a residential area in the southern part of Memphis.
Two victims were pronounced dead on the scene, while a third, who is 15 years old, was taken to a hospital, a spokesman for the police said.
