Manhunt Ends In Killer's Suicide


"KENSINGTON, MD — The man police say killed his wife and dumped her body on a busy Montgomery County street has taken his own life. As recently as Saturday, 36-year-old Heather Lynn McGuire of Rockville, Md. told police she feared for her life.

"Tuesday morning, McGuire shot in the head on Connecticut Avenue and Knowles Street. [It was] reported that a woman was trying to get out of a van, but a male driver pulled her back in, shot her, pushed her out onto the street, and sped away. A witness says that the woman was screaming for help and already covered in blood when the driver pulled her back into the van and shot her.

"Police received multiple calls came into the Montgomery County 911 center to report the shooting in the area around 9:39 a.m. Tuesday. Officers arrived at the scene and shut down Connecticut Avenue in both directions while they searched for a suspect.

"Police put a lookout for a green or gray minivan last seen headed southbound on Connecticut Avenue.

"They later identified the suspect as 51-year-old Philip Joseph Gilberti, and believed he may be on foot and be carrying a firearm. They released a description of him as a man approximately 6 feet tall, 250 pounds, and last seen wearing a red shirt, dark jeans, dark boots and carrying a dark duffle bag.

"A tip on Tuesday evening led police to the College Gardens area of Rockville. Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger told 9News Now that after police zeroed in on the Rockville house where they believed Gilberti was inside, they heard a gunshot. They later entered the home to find Gilberti dead from an apparent gunshot wound."
