How they died
Suicide
Michael T. Dixon reportedly shot himself in the head as police approached his car. According to police, Dixon was pursued by police at around 3:20 p.m. because the Pontiac he was riding in matched the description of one that had been involved in gunplay in the 2300 block East Spruce Street a few minutes earlier. Dixon was on life support for a while and was pronounced dead later that night, police said. An autopsy indicated that Dixon suffered a single close-contact gunshot wound to his head, according to Sangamon County Coroner Susan Boone.
