Austin police have confirmed the man they believe to be the serial bombing suspect has died. Police say the suspect detonated a bomb in a vehicle after a confrontation with police.
The Austin Police Department tweeted early Wednesday morning that the incident happened in the 1700 block of N. Interstate 35.

Investigators have been pursuing a suspected serial bomber in Austin since the first explosion on March 2. A 39-year old man was killed. A 17-year-old boy was killed and two women were injured in two separate blasts on March 12.
On Sunday, two men - ages 22 and 23 - were injured in a blast trigged by a tripwire. A worker at a FedEx distribution center was treated and released Tuesday morning after reporting ringing in her ears.
