According to the Eaton County Sheriff's Office, David Sprague was leading two acquaintances to a vehicle he'd stolen from them about seven weeks ago.
They noticed he had a gun and called police while Spraque went into Meijer to buy alcohol.
Deputies tried to pull them over.
Sprague forced the driver to keep going at gunpoint until they go to an apartment complex near the Lansing Mall, at which point he got out and ran.
Police eventually found him hiding in a shed on Riley Ridge Dr. Sprague shot himself before a negotiator arrived.
He died Monday morning.
