A teenage fugitive being hunted for the September murder of a 17-year-old girl has been found shot dead in his bullet-riddled car.

Deshawn Suggs, 18, was the sole suspect in the murder of Alianna Ujueta, 17, who was shot in the head while leaving a house party in San Antonio, Texas, nearly four months ago.

A warrant was issued for Suggs’ arrest in November — but he was not found until early Saturday, when he was found dead in a car on San Antonio’s Far West Side.

Like Alianna, he was found with a gunshot wound to the head.

His car and a neighboring residence were riddled with bullet holes, and his death has been ruled a homicide, according to News4SanAntonio.

Ujueta was shot in the head while leaving a party on Luckey Road on Sept. 28 — with a pickup truck running over her motionless body, KENS5 reported. Despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene, and her death was ruled a homicide.

When Suggs was identified as the suspect, Alianna’s grieving father, Ivan Ujueta, begged for help hunting him down.

“I plead, and I ask, help us get this boy‚” the dad told KSAT in November.

“He has to place himself at the mercy of the justice system.”

“There’s no way he can sleep at night knowing he has taken the life of our innocent baby girl,” the dad separately told KENS5. “There’s going to be a price that has to be paid.”

The overwhelmed dad said then that there “hasn’t been a night or morning that we’re not thinking of” and missing his daughter.

“Every thought I have is about her,” the slain teen’s mom told KENS 5.

“I would not want any person to have to deal with this pain, losing a child.”

Investigators say they’re working to determine what led up to Sugg’s shooting, and no arrests have been made.
