SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WOOD) — A double homicide suspect wanted in Michigan turned himself in at a grocery store in South Bend after a 12-hour time frame as a wanted man.
Police said 32-year-old Zachary Michael Patten fled to South Bend before he was taken into custody.
Police said he shot and killed two people Thursday night in Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties before leading them on a manhunt that stretched out for miles.
It was in front of a grocery store in South Bend, Indiana, where it all ended. Two police officers were leaving Martin’s late this morning after checking on an unrelated call.
“There was a gentleman sitting on the bench,” said South Bend Police Department Det. Chris Kronewitter. “The gentleman stood up, walked over to them and said that he needed to be arrested.”
With that, the manhunt was over.
