A suspect in the shooting deaths of a suburban Chicago family died following a fiery crash in Oklahoma, along with a passenger, police said.

Nathaniel Huey Jr., of Streamwood, Illinois, tried to elude authorities after a digital license plate detector spotted him Wednesday in Catoosa, Oklahoma, but he crashed the vehicle, and it caught fire, police said. It’s unclear whether the crash, or gunfire officers heard at the crash scene, killed him and the woman who was his passenger.
