How they died
Suicide
Around 2:20 p.m., a Carterville Police Department officer tried to stop a stolen red Hummer. The other didn't stop and a pursuit started. After a short time, the other crashed. The driver allegedly got out and ran up to a home, accosted a resident and took his car keys and fled west. Jasper County deputies became involved in the pursuit as Jay Hicks drove the wrong way around a roundabout, causing a number of collisions. Police continued pursuing Hicks back east until the other crashed, and Hicks got out and ran. He tried hiding under a tractor trailer on the parking lot of a business. As officers surrounded him, Hicks reportedly shot and killed himself.
