Darryl Stephens, a former member of PCC's football team, died on Monday in a suspected suicide according to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department.

Stephens was found in Upland, after Upland Police responded to reports of gunshots.

"According to Upland [Police], in their investigation, suicide was indicated," said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Sgt. Tony DeCecio.

According to San Bernardino County Coroner Spokeswoman Sandy Fatland, Stephens was pronounced dead at 12:13 a.m. Monday after an original injury at 10:23 a.m. Sunday described as a "gun shot to the upper body."

Fatland said that the "cause of death is unconfirmed" and the autopsy has yet to be scheduled.

Stephens was wanted by the Sheriff's Department in a murder investigation dating back to May 5.
