HICKORY, NC – An hours-long standoff at a Hickory home Thursday night ended with police finding the suspect dead in the attic.

( Police: 18-year-old dies after three shots in Hickory; investigation upgraded to murder )

Police said they went to the home on Ninth Avenue Drive Northeast to serve warrants for a man connected to a shooting at the Legends Apartments last week, but he did not come out.

The Hickory Police Chief said when they arrived, the unknown suspect ran into the house.

The Catawba County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team began negotiations shortly after 6 p.m., which concluded about five hours later.

Police told Channel 9’s Dave Faherty that they hope to learn the man’s cause of death after an autopsy is completed.
