Police in Oakley near San Francisco confirmed Thursday that authorities in Washington State have killed the suspect in the disappearance of Filipino American Alexis Gabe.
KOMO reported Wednesday night that authorities in Kent near Seattle shot and killed a murder suspect who they say was holding a knife.
A woman who lived with the suspect told KOMO that police were investigating the disappearance of Gabe who disappeared in January.
The Oakley City Police Department confirmed that suspicion today.
As AsAmNews previously reported, police questioned Gabe’s ex-boyfriend numerous times, but would not say if he is a suspect.
