How they died

Suicide

Monty Kingsley reportedly shot himself in the head after being wounded in an exchange of gunfire with police. According to police, Kingsley shot at a JPD other after an officer responded to an incident on Rudy Street at about 3 p.m. Kingsley then fled into a residence. MCSD and ISP officers arrived and Kingsley allegedly exchanged gunfire with them. With the assistance of robots from the ISP and the Illinois Secretary of State, officers entered the home at around 9 p.m. Kingsley was found dead--he'd been wounded during the exchange of gunfire, but police said the fatal wound was self-inflicted.
