Andrew Washington

How they died

Suicide

Police were called to Washington's apartment when his roommate reported Washington had threatened him. An officer who responded saw him holding "what appeared to be a machete." Washington then pointed a handgun at the officer before fleeing in a Chevy Suburban. The pursuit went to Callaway County and Old Highway 40, where it ended when spike strips disabled the Suburban. Officers found him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound a short time later.
