SANTA MONICA, Calif.—A 39-year-old man suspected of shooting a co-worker at a Santa Monica College (SMC) satellite campus, prompting a manhunt and causing the college to close all its campuses, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a standoff Tuesday in Hawthorne.

Police from various agencies, including the Santa Monica Police Department, descended around 4 p.m. on Aviation Boulevard, north of El Segundo Boulevard, and surrounded Davon Durell Dean inside a car that wound up facing the wrong way on the roadway as it was pinned in by squad cars and armored SWAT vehicles.
