Suspect Commits Suicide After Multi-County Double Homicide Chase Texas

A double homicide occurred in Gilchrist, Texas, where Eric Dopp, 45, and his daughter Wisdom Hall, 24, were shot and killed following an argument involving the suspect, Johnathan Findley, 38. The argument escalated at a home on Kirkpatrick Road, leading Findley to flee the scene in a white Toyota Corolla. Law enforcement agencies from multiple counties engaged in a multi-county chase that ended in Beaumont when Findley's vehicle crashed, and he subsequently died by suicide inside the car via a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities used a drone to assess the situation before approaching the vehicle, and investigations are ongoing with the involvement of the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, Chambers County Sheriff's Office, and Beaumont Police Department. The motive behind the shootings remains unclear, and officials have withheld the release of the victims' and suspect's identities until family notifications were made. This is a developing case with further updates expected.
