Man who apparently shot himself in standoff identified

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Sedgwick County authorities have identified a 43-year-old man who they say shot himself during a standoff at a motel.

Police on Saturday identified the man as Ramiro Rosete Jr.

A Sedgwick County deputy stopped a vehicle driven by Rosete late Thursday and discovered that Rosete had an outstanding warrant for suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Authorities say Rosete fled when the deputy tried to arrest him.

Deputies later learned the man was staying at a motel, where he barricaded himself inside.

SWAT team negotiators convinced Rosete to surrender, but authorities say that shortly after the agreement, a single gunshot was heard from the suspect's room.
