The suspect, who was wanted by police as a "person of interest" in her murder, shot himself in the head, receiving critical injuries, as they approached him at Pete's Grill on the city's east side on a Monday afternoon. Dynasty and Wydell Glichrist, Latrina's children, say that the couple had been in a relationship for over a decade and that Latrina and his family cared deeply for him.
