A teenage fugitive being hunted for the September murder of a 17-year-old girl has been found shot dead in his bullet-riddled car.

Deshawn Suggs, 18, was the sole suspect in the murder of Alianna Ujueta, 17, who was shot in the head while leaving a house party in San Antonio, Texas, nearly four months ago.

A warrant was issued for Suggs’ arrest in November — but he was not found until early Saturday, when he was found dead in a car on San Antonio’s Far West Side.

Like Alianna, he was found with a gunshot wound to the head.

…Ujueta was shot in the head while leaving a party on Luckey Road on Sept. 28 — with a pickup truck running over her motionless body, KENS5 reported. Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene, and her death was ruled a homicide.

… When Suggs was identified as the suspect, Alianna’s grieving father, Ivan Ujueta, begged for help hunting him down.

“I plead, and I ask, help us get this boy‚” the dad told KSAT in November.

“He has to place himself at the mercy of the justice system.”
