AUBURN — A local man suspected of shooting a woman at his apartment complex on University Street on Friday morning and then shooting himself has died, according to police.
Daniel Brown, 40, of 46 University St. was found in woods near Twitchell’s Airport in Turner with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Deputy Chief Timothy Cougle said. Brown was taken to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston where he died.
