The van was parked at the Rooms To Go parking lot in Sunrise, Florida.
However, there was only the body of a man found inside the vehicle, which has been identified as belonging to Pedro Torres, the murder suspect they were after.
Torres died as a result of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” according to an updated 1:39 p.m. tweet by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.
Police had been looking for Torres since Sunday after his wife, 45-year-old Vicky Torres, was found dead in her home at about 7:45 a.m.
The sheriff’s office believed Torres had murdered her before fleeing to Broward County. She was found dead inside her Vero Beach home.
According to comments under the sheriff’s office Facebook post, multiple people claimed that they had seen a violent side to Torres.
Some people even claimed that Torres beat his daughter with a belt at school one time. The couple had three children, the Miami Herald reported.
The murder of his wife was believed to have been a domestic matter.
On Sunday police warned that Pedro was believed to be armed and dangerous.
