A man suspected of two murders in Mississippi as been captured and is in the Ellsworth County Jail as of late Wednesday afternoon. His capture by the Kansas Highway Patrol came after a high speed chase with speeds reaching 140 mph that started on I-70 near Dorrance and ended 9 miles later just north of Wilson.
Alex Deaton, 28, from Rankin County, Miss. surrendered after the stolen car he was driving left the road way and overturned.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation has arrived to process the crime scene as the stolen car remains upside down in the ditch surrounded by charred grass.
Wilson schools were locked down as a precaution to keep students safe in the event that the suspect made into town and as of now school has lifted the lock down due to no current threat.
When arriving on the scene it was eerie to say the least. With smoke and burned car smell filling the air set the mood like walking on to a Hollywood movie set.
Deaton is the suspect in the murders of two women and two shooting involving a female jogger and a 19-year-old in Pratt County that is listed in critical condition in a Wichita hospital.

Shooting suspect Alex Bridges Deaton, wanted for two murders in Mississippi and suspected of a shooting this morning in Pratt, Kan.,  has been arrested in Ellsworth County.
