A man suspected of gunning down a pregnant teenager in Atmore is dead.
Ferrell Perdue, 44, shot himself in the head Monday morning, while his brother was on the telephone negotiating his surrender with Bay Minette police.
Perdue had been on the run since Thursday night when investigators say he broke into his estranged girlfriend's apartment and started shooting. Marquetta Washington, his girlfriend's 19 year old pregnant daughter, was killed in the attack. Washington's 26 year old boyfriend was injured.
Perdue was unconscious when police arrived at a trailer park off Pine Grove Road Extension, according to Maj. Anthony Lowery of the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office. Perdue was pronounced dead a short time later.
