A man being sought for questioning in Sunday’s critical shooting of a woman in the parking lot of Chimney Top Apartments was this afternoon found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot inside his SUV in the parking lot of the Watkins Park Library on 17th Avenue North.
Cassandra Mayes, 41, was found at 8:15 a.m. Sunday shot in the head inside her vehicle. Mayes had visited a friend at the apartment complex and was in the process of leaving when a witness heard a single gunshot. She remains hospitalized in very critical condition.
Detectives had been seeking Mayes’ boyfriend, Wayne Love, 53, for questioning in the shooting. A vehicle similar in description to Love’s SUV was seen leaving the apartment complex immediately after Mayes was shot. Officers found Love dead today after responding to a suspicious vehicle call at the library parking lot.
