TULSA - The suspect in Thursday's east Tulsa homicide is dead after an hours-long standoff with police at a hotel. Officials say 35-year-old Eliboreo Carillo died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Tulsa police and the Special Operations Team evacuated part of the Days Inn at I-244 and North Sheridan Road early Friday. They said Carillo, the suspect who killed his ex-wife's boyfriend , was staying in one of the rooms.

Homicide detectives found out Carillo's location after talking to his friends. Police quickly surrounded the hotel room and began evacuating guests around 3 a.m.

Detectives say they called the room and Carillo answered. They had a brief conversation but Carrillo wasn't cooperating and hung up the phone. 

Hours after police made contact with Carillo, shots rang out around 6:30 a.m.

Around 7:15 a.m., Tulsa Police Department spokesman Leland Ashley told 2NEWS reporter Patricia Santos the gun shots were from inside the room and were not directed at police. 

Around 10 a.m. police confirmed Carillo was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. They found him lying in the bathroom.

Detectives still haven't found his car.

Police were quick to identify Carillo as the suspect in the deadly shooting around 5 p.m. Thursday.

Carillo's ex-wife and her boyfriend Victor Hugo Soledad-Munoz were looking at a rent house near 38th and South Garnett Road when police say Carrillo, shot Munoz outside a vehicle. He was 32 years old.

Carillo's ex-wife and his two children were inside the vehicle at the time.

As for Carillo, the Mexico native had a long history with U.S. law enforcement. Carillo was arrested 13 times since 2004. Many of the arrests occurred in California.

He was arrested in Broken Arrow for trafficking illegal drugs and in Bixby for domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor.

Carillo has been deported a number of times, most recently from Tulsa in June.

Police say he had 22 different aliases.
