A man who fled and crossed state lines after shooting and killing the mother of his toddler is dead, although authorities used decidedly cryptic language to convey this information.

Police in Williston, Florida, has announced that Jonathon Jerome Segar, 31, was killed by a gunshot wound in Georgia. Segar had reportedly fled the central Florida city after shooting and killing Ariel Griffin, 30, with whom he shared a child. Law enforcement found Segar on Monday evening.

Williston Police Chief Mike Rolls delivered the news Monday in a somewhat circuitous fashion.

“With the dedicated support of other law enforcement agencies the suspect has been located and is no longer a threat to the public and the victim’s family,” he said Monday in a statement on Facebook. “Additional information will be released as it is available. At this time please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

Rolls told WCJB that Segar died of a gunshot wound in Georgia. The lawman did not elaborate on who pulled the trigger, nor did he describe the immediate circumstances when Segar died.
