The man accused of shooting and killing a Henry County, GA, police officer turned the gun on himself seconds before being captured in a Clayton County apartment Tuesday evening, authorities said.
Jordan Jackson, 22, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at an apartment complex in Riverdale, Henry police Chief Mark Amerman said during a news conference. Jackson, the subject of a massive five-day manhunt, had been hiding out with friends, the department said.

Jackson was accused of shooting Officer Paramhans Desai last week during an arrest attempt, according to police. Late Monday, the 38-year-old officer died from his injuries, and the hunt for his alleged killer ramped up. The reward increased to $70,000 to find Jackson, but it was not known Wednesday whether anyone was eligible for the money.
