Curtis Lee Cloyd

How they died

Suicide

Curtis Lee Cloyd was reported to be at a home on his mother's property after police had received a call of shots being fired near that residence. Officers arrived and found Cloyd sitting in the back of a house with a gun. This was likely where Cloyd had been hiding out since being sought by police the weekend after the family of Lisa Cloyd reported her missing, police said. Dozens of officers converged on the property and tried to speak with Cloyd but received no response. SWAT teams fired gas canisters into the home to try and flush him out. Deputies then entered the home and found Cloyd dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
