Virginia Murder Suspect Dies After Police Chase I-75 Georgia

Two separate police pursuits ended tragically on major interstates in Illinois and Georgia. On Interstate 294 in Elmhurst, Illinois, a suspect fleeing police on foot after a retail theft investigation was struck and killed by a passing vehicle. Meanwhile, in Georgia, a 31-year-old Virginia man named Daquona Verdale Peede, wanted in connection to a Henry County homicide, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a chase on Interstate 75 ended with a PIT maneuver by Georgia State Patrol. Peede shot himself as officers approached his vehicle and was later pronounced dead at a hospital; his body was sent for autopsy. Investigations into both incidents remain ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information on the Georgia case to come forward. Law enforcement agencies confirmed no further details have been released about the specific homicide linked to Peede as inquiries continue.
