(541-567-3024) Facebook killer takes his own life as police close in By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER and MARK GILLISPIE Associated Press ERIE, Pa. — The man who randomly gunned down a Cleveland retiree and posted video of the crime on Facebook killed himself Tuesday during a police chase in Pennsylvania that began when a McDonald’s drive-thru attendant recog- nized him.

State Police Maj. William Teper Jr. would say only that the tip came from a “concerned citizen.” The McDonald’s employees tried to “buy some time for the cops” by telling Stephens his fries were delayed, but he said he had no time to wait and drove off, according to DuCharme. Police picked up the trail in a chase that lasted 2 miles before Stephens took his own life, authorities said. Gail Wheeler, of Erie, said she was stopped at a light at the McDonald’s when Stephens came “whip- ping out” of the parking lot, nearly hitting her. She said state troopers weren’t far behind. Wheeler said she followed the chase and saw a trooper clip Stephens’ rear bumper. His car did a half- turn and came to rest against the curb, and she heard a gunshot, she said. She then saw officers approach the car. The officer closest to the car “just shook his head,” she said. “They had their guns out, but when he shook his head, they lowered their guns.” Police said it wasn’t clear whether Stephens had any help while he was on the run or where he had been and that investigators will try to retrace his steps. Stephens’ cellphone had been tracked Sunday afternoon near Erie, officials said on Monday. Police say teens trying to steal belt led to deadly shooting PORTLAND (AP) — One of two teenagers arrested after the shooting death of a high school student in an Oregon park told a detective they had wanted to steal the victim’s belt, according to court documents. The 17-year-old boy charged with first-degree robbery told the Portland detective that stealing the belt was the objec- tive when he and Jones others approached Shawn Scott Jr. in broad daylight last week, a prob- able cause affidavit filed by a prosecutor says. The park is near a busy light-rail stop and a shop- ping mall. Detective Erik Kammerer said surveillance video from a business showed a gun being pointed at the belt before the April 11 shooting. “Kammerer told me that (the suspected robber) was present and puffed up, trying to intim- idate the victim,” prosecutor Laura Rowan wrote in the affidavit. Scott, 17, died from a single gunshot wound to the head. He was a junior at Union High School in Vancouver, Washington, a few miles north of Portland. The teen accused of firing the gun, 18-year-old Kole Jones of Gresham, was booked into jail last week on charges of murder, first-degree robbery and unlawful use of a vehicle. A preliminary court hearing is scheduled for April 25. Jones’ court-appointed lawyer, Joe Calhoun, was out of the office Tuesday and did not immediately return a message seeking comment. In January, Jones was charged with second-degree theft after police said he stole merchandise from Macy’s, court records show. He was arrested that same month in Oregon for unauthorized use of a vehicle. He pleaded guilty in the vehicle case and was sentenced to 20 days in jail and probation. The minor charged with robbery after the park shooting was arraigned in juvenile court Monday. He will be assigned a court-ap- pointed lawyer and return to court next week. Police are searching for at least one other suspect in the crime.
