SALINA- A suspected wanted by law enforcement authorities has died after police say he shot himself.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney said Jose Robles, 26, who was being sought by police for the battery and kidnapping of his girlfriend, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Sunday evening.

Sweeney says that officers responded to an alley located east of Santa Fe and north of Woodland just before 5:15 p.m., after receiving a tip from a citizen that Robles was in that area.

Officers initially spotted Robles after arriving in the area, then lost sight of him. While searching the area a short time later, they heard a single gunshot.

Robles’ body was located following a search.
