UPDATE: The Tucson Police Department has confirmed 42-year-old Jason Patty was located deceased inside a home on August 23 following a standoff. He appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Multiple agencies responded to a standoff in the 5800 block of North Edenbrook Lane on Wednesday evening where Pima County Sheriffs confirmed with KGUN 9 that they were looking for a suspect wanted in relation to a deadly traffic incident that took place earlier this month.
