Written By AUTUMN JOHNSON (Patch Staff) and BEA KARNES (Patch Staff)

Jason Alexander Brown, the suspect wanted in a double shooting at a CVS parking lot in Livermore that left one dead and the other victim hospitalized, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday morning after an all night standoff with police at an Oakland motel, Livermore Police confirm.

Both Livermore and Oakland police personnel were involved in the operation. No officers fired their weapons.

Brown, 18, is accused of shooting two men in their 20s as they sat in a car in the CVS pharmacy parking lot at 1500 First St. in Livermore in October. One man died and the other was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for multiple gunshot wounds.

In addition, Brown was the suspect in murders in Sacramento and Fresno.
