Just before midnight on Tuesday, the husband of social media influencer Alexis Sharkey was found dead of an apparent suicide.
Tom Sharkey shot himself in the head, as the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force police attempted to take him into custody. Authorities had a warrant for his arrest for his wife’s murder that had been issued on September 29th.
Sharkey reportedly ran upstairs. And shot himself when law enforcement came to the door to arrest him. He died in his daughter’s home in Fort Myers, Florida.
There are no other suspects currently under investigation in the case. The Houston police department has “clear evidence that Mr. Sharkey acted alone,” Houston Police Sgt. Michael Burrow said on Wednesday.
Alexis Sharkey was murdered last year. And her husband, Tom was the “only person who had the means, motive, and opportunity to have committed the murder,” Sgt. Burrow claimed.
They added that the investigation found that the couple had a “history of domestic violence.” And that their relationship was ending. Alexis wanted a divorce.
