A Georgia man on the run after shooting his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend inside a home has been found dead, authorities said Tuesday.

Abdul Batin Rashid, 48, was found around 12:30 p.m. at a home in Sandy Springs with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Johns Creek Police Department said.

Rashid was wanted since early Monday after authorities say he wounded Heather Quiggle and Jerrold Knight around 2:40 a.m. at a home on Plantation Bridge Drive in Johns Creek.

Quiggle was shot in her chest while Knight was shot in a leg. Officers stabilized both victims at the scene until paramedics arrived.
