Cleveland police say the man wanted for murdering his new wife and four other family members has killed himself while holed up in a house, The Plain Dealer reports.
Davon Crawford, 33, shot himself about 4:20 p.m. ET after being cornered by police. He was wanted for gunning down Lechea Crawford, 30, whom he married Monday; her sister, Rose Stevens, 25; and three of her children, Destiny Woods, 5, and 2-year-old twins Deon and Davion Primm.
A 7-year-old boy remains hospitalized. Crawford's 2-month old daughter was unharmed.
Police said they don't yet know what sparked the killings.
Crawford had a long criminal record, the Plain Dealer says. He served time for manslaughter after killing a man in a 1995 dispute over a girlfriend, and in 2002 he returned to prison after pleading guilty to felony assault with a firearm, endangering children and other charges.

Did the surviving children say why he murdered the others? You see this is why we have to really get to know our partners. Rarely are there times when there is no warning signs. I bet she never thought it would ever get to the point that he would kill her tho. Love is a dangerous thing, sometimes fatal. Don't love me to death, LOL.
When most enter into a relationship, they do it for all the wrong reasons: how the other person looks, how much money they have or how good they are in bed.. I've heard people say, "girl they don't have it all, but they're good in bed or they have deep pockets. Do mental checks people!!! Too many People these days have ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
