A man is dead after he fled from police and wrecked his car early Friday morning. 

Reports of a shooting at the North Creek Apartments in Southaven sent officers to the area around 2 a.m. on Friday. The suspect believed to be responsible for firing shots at another individual was seen fleeing the scene in a car and crashed into one of the responding officers’ vehicles. 

The unidentified suspect sped off and was pursued down Stateline Road. Law enforcement officials say he was driving “erratically” and eventually crashed into another police car, sending him off the roadway and wrecking in the woods. 

He was pronounced dead on the scene.  

Southaven Police Department officials say a portion of Stateline Road will be closed for an extended period of time while the incident is investigated. Authorities also say there is no danger to the public.
