Morrissey said that it appears the man and two women involved are all related.

The suspect, who “appeared to be in obvious distress,” was tracked down near Country Club Road, Morrissey said. Officers were reportedly forced to use pepper spray and tasers to subdue him.

After being taken into custody, the man started showing signs of physical distress, and life-saving measures were attempted but he later died. An autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday.

Police later announced that there was no threat to the public.

An investigation is ongoing.
