A 53-year-old man fatally shot himself as authorities tried to arrest him Monday morning in Back of the Yards, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
A Tuesday autopsy determined Larry A. McGee died of a gunshot wound to his head, by suicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.
Members of the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, which includes Chicago police officers, were preparing to serve an arrest warrant at a home in the 5400 block of South Hermitage Avenue around 9:35 a.m. Monday when McGee, who was the subject of the warrant, shot himself in the head, police said.
McGee was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. He was pronounced dead about an hour later, according to the medical examiner’s office.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, and no officers fired their weapons, officials said.
Chicago police are investigating.
