A Texas man suspected of killing his ex-girlfriend shot himself Thursday after he was spotted stalking her memorial.

Juan Carlos Mata, 20, had been on the run from cops after allegedly shooting 19-year-old Lesley Reyes in the head outside her Pasadena apartment Monday.

He wasn’t seen until officers received a call at 5:49 a.m. for a suspicious person creeping around a “makeshift memorial” erected at the site he is accused of pulling the trigger.

Police arrived within 10 minutes and tried to make contact with Mata, but the alleged killer evaded arrest one last time.

“[Mata] went behind a car, retrieved a shotgun and committed suicide in front of our officer,” Pasadena Sgt. Raul Granados said at a press conference.
