ANN ARBOR, MI - A fugitive sought by the U.S. Marshals and the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team shot and killed himself in Ann Arbor early Tuesday, according to a U.S. Marshals official.

Although authorities previously weren't releasing information about a death investigation at the Harbor House of Ann Arbor apartments, 275 Harbor Way, Deputy U. S. Marshal Justin Efthemiou confirmed the death happened early May 10.

The incident occurred as U.S. Marshals sought a fugitive on a felony warrant, Efthemiou said.

The felony investigation led authorities to believe the fugitive, who has not yet been identified, was in a specific apartment in the complex, he said.

"Upon entry (by authorities), the fugitive used a firearm and self-inflicted a shot, which ultimately caused their death," Efthemiou said. "No law enforcement used force of any kind."

The death occurred between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. May 10, he said.

Efthemiou said the death effectively closes their felony investigation. He expects more information to be released on the investigation at a later point in time.

A property manager was alerted to the situation at about 9 a.m. May 10, but a maintenance team and authorities were already on scene, said Jessica Nix, a spokeswoman for Campus Life & Style. Harbor House of Ann Arbor is a Campus Life & Style property. Apartment residents were then notified of the incident.
