5:10 a.m. update: The suspect in a string of bombings in Austin is dead, interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley confirmed early Wednesday.
Investigators identified several leads but the case really broke in the past 24 to 36 hours, Manley said.
The chief described how authorities tracked down the suspect’s vehicle to a Round Rock-area hotel. Police began following the suspect’s vehicle, and as SWAT approached, the suspect detonated a bomb in the car, Manley said.
The name of the suspect, described only as a 24-year-old white man, has not been released, pending notification of his family, Manley said.
Although police are still investigating the possibility of accomplices, he said, “we believe this individual is responsible for all of the incidents in Austin.”
Manley urged the community to remain vigilant for possible other explosives, adding that “we do not know where (the suspect) has been in the past 24 hours.”
Police have not identified a motive for the string of bombings, Manley said.
Earlier: A man whom authorities were attempting to arrest early Wednesday in a string of bombing attacks in Austin killed himself with an explosive device as authorities closed in, a high-ranking law enforcement official told the American-Statesman.
The official said authorities identified a suspect in the past 24 hours based largely on information gained after police said the suspect shipped an explosive device from a FedEx store in Sunset Valley, a suburb surrounded by Austin. That evidence included security video.
Authorities also relied upon store receipts showing suspicious transactions from the person and obtained a search warrant for his Google search history that showed him conducting searches they considered suspicious, the official said.
Authorities relied upon cell phone technology to trace the suspect to a hotel in Williamson County, the official said.

The gloves are a definite rip-off. Being the Austin area, I can just hear the counter conversation:
Counter guy: "So, is there anything hazardous in your package?"
Bomber: "No."
Counter guy: "Then, why are you wearing gloves?"
Bomber: "I don't want to mess up my manicure."
They are hiding his identity to scrub the internet of his presence and control the narrative.
The name of the suspect, described only as a 24-year-old white man,

That’s racist.
I KNOW. They’ve lied so much it’s disgusting. I don’t believe a word they say now.
Almost all serial killers are perverts.
Sounds like there is confusion on this issue, those photos do seem to be the security tape people are talking about. Some are seeing it, others like CNN and Fox are holding back it is said. Daily Mail published it.
Are they saying he is dead because he was blown up in his car? If so, you can’t get more convenient than that.
White privilege. Notice how fast this came out, he’s white! Setting us all up and creating the narrative
Thank God he was white so Baby Mama not on the news asking "Why did the PO-leece has to follow him? Couldn't dey wait for him to give hisself up? He was a good boy, tryin' turn his life 'roun..."
And The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media agreeing with her.
Geraldo just said that he didn’t want to speculate about the bomber but he’d guess that he fits the “Timothy McVeigh” mold.
Soon as the media confirm this is another documented demonrat (Austin TX, what are the odds?), this entire episode will quickly buried down the memory hole.
lol White HAIRED man.
I have to admit, I thought that also
>>They’re going to have a two-week gangbang where they will obsess overhis whiteness and his being a right winger Christian: Then 6 months or a year later we’ll find out he’s a total lefty.
That was how it played out too when that Austin kook flew a plane into an IRS office in Austin.

Fits the Bill Ayers mold.
A 24 year-old with no name. No wonder it took so long to catch him.
I don’t know if they have decided on that part of the official narrative yet. The script is being written as we go.
“...suspect dies as police close in...”
What? heart attack? stroke? natural causes?
Headline writers afraid to state facts?
hopefully a someone copies his facebook pages before they take them down.
