A man who allegedly shot two women, killing one, before shooting himself during a standoff with Suwanee police has died.
The suspect, 29-year-old Shuaib Omar, died a few hours after Monday's standoff ended.
One of the two women Omar shot in an apparent domestic dispute at an Auburn apartment died after being transported to Gwinnett Medical Center, Auburn Police Chief Paul Nadeau said. That woman has been identified as Betty Marie Maddox, 35.
The other victim, 32-year-old Monica Long, is in stable condition at a local hospital, Auburn police said.
Police said one of the victims was Omar's girlfriend.
After the shooting, Omar fled from the apartment, at 186 Parks Mill Road, to his home on Scales Road in Suwanee, where he told SWAT units he was going to kill himself, police said.
