Officials in Jackson, Tennessee, say they were notified by Bridgeport police on a tip that Pettway was hiding out in a nearby home.
The U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force acted on the tip, relaying information to Tennessee law enforcement.
They say just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, law enforcement confirmed Pettway was inside a residence armed with a handgun.
After a nearly 24-hour standoff with police, officials say law enforcement officers entered the home and found Pettway dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Bridgeport Police Tips Line at 203-576-TIPS (8471) or contact BPD Homicide Detective Tom Harper at 203-581-5239
