Travis Dale Harris

How they died

Suicide

Police went to the Pine Ridge Apartments to check on a tip of a methamphetamine lab operating in the apartment, police said. When officers arrived, they reported smelling chemicals used in meth production. They arrested three men, but Harris tried to escape through the back door. He saw more officers and ran inside the apartment and barricaded himself in a bedroom. Around 10 hours later, officers heard two gunshots in the bedroom, and police found Harris dead with a handgun and an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the face.
