MN Fugitive Dead After Suicide Attempt in TX

(Learfield News/San Antonio, TX) — Authorities confirm a fugitive from New Auburn, Minnesota is dead from a suicide attempt in San Antonio, Texas.

A search for David Powers began after he failed to show up to Washington County court last Monday on kidnapping and rape charges.

Despite his absence, the jury found him guilty of the 2023 incident where he kidnapped, beat, and raped his former girlfriend.

Officials say Powers jumped off a bridge on Wednesday near the San Antonio airport. Powers was eventually arrested and brought to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Powers’ death is being investigated.
