Police were looking for Rufus L. Young ever since his ex-girlfriend, Naushay Riley, and her mother, Jackie M. Riley, were found dead in their home early Thursday morning.
But before he could be apprehended, police say, he shot himself in the head last night at an Independence motel.
According to police reports, Young murdered the women with two young children in the house, one of whom, a 2-year-old, was also Young's child and was allegedly in Naushay's arms when he shot her.
Jackson County prosecutors had charged him with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and one count of child endangerment.
