Both sources said Fraron Cornelius, 41, was named as the suspect in an email sent to local law enforcement.
Cornelius died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after crashing his vehicle while leading police on a car chase through Milwaukee County early Wednesday morning.
The suspect was found dead in his car.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office had tentatively identified the suspect as a 41-year-old man from Wauwatosa without naming the individual.
Authorities would not identify the suspect at a Wednesday afternoon news conference.
But Wauwatosa Sgt. Abby Pavlik said her department was assisting Waukesha County sheriff’s deputies in searching the home of the suspect along the 1500 block of North 124th St. in Wauwatosa.
