The suspect fled and was later found in an apartment near where the shooting happened. By the time police entered the apartment, the suspect was dead from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound," the release said.

The department didn't give any details on the suspect or why Sheldon had made the stop just after 10 p.m. Saturday.

Sheldon had been with the police department for six years.
